Are we cloning water reforms for different problems? Institutional change in the water sector under the IWRM paradigm
Entrepreneurial universities and integrated sustainability for the knowledge-based economy: Self-perception and some structural challenges in the Gulf region
Innovation and the promotion of entrepreneurship are requirements of the transition towards knowledge-based economies. Universities are assigned a key role in advancing entrepreneurship through the restructuring of teaching, research, and governance with an emphasis on innovation and sustainability. In the Gulf region, universities are increasingly adopting reforms aimed at redefining their missions towards entrepreneurial education. This study e…
From scenario to mounting risks: Covid-19’s perils for development and supply security in the Sahel
The African Sahel countries are inherently fragile, environmentally insecure and economically weak. This paper underscores the compounded impacts brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic on resource supply security and, hence, the long-term development of the region. It outlines the Sahel-specific COVID-19 scenario by firstly highlighting the underlying vulnerabilities and later linking the health sector outcomes to increased political instability …
Rethinking infrastructure rehabilitation: Conflict resilience of urban water and energy supply in the Middle East and South Sudan
Legacies of state-building and political fragility in conflict-ridden Yemen: Understanding civil service change and contemporary challenges
Constitutional, economic and administrative reforms have generated debates about their unintended consequences in poor and developing countries, and the best way to steer them towards better outcomes. In-depth case study analysis helps in tailoring future reforms and enriches academic literature on countries faced with the complex and intertwined problems of fragility, traditional actors, state building and donor involvement. This paper aims at e…
A quest for the Arabian atom? Geopolitics, security, and national identity in the nuclear energy programs in the Middle East
Evaluation of decentralization and commercialization in the urban water sector of Yemen
The article analyzes decentralization and commercialization reforms in the Yemeni urban water and sanitation sector. The case study shows that sector reforms to increase the performance and independence of water utilities in developing countries can become entangled in conflicting political agendas, leading to the derailing of reforms. The reform process in the Yemeni case is presented as part of sector-wide policy change due to increasing scarci…
Development drivers of the water-energy-food nexus in the Gulf Cooperation Council region
This article analyses water, food, and energy security in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries using the water-energy-food (WEF) nexus approach. The innovative focus is on identifying past and future development-based drivers of water-energy-food integration in the region. The study presents a critical review of WEF nexus in the Gulf region and identifies links to sustainable development in this area. It concludes that integrating water, …
Solar energy farming as a development innovation for vulnerable water basins
In vulnerable water basins, unregulated access to solar energy and groundwater can threaten water security through increased abstractions. Public and development agencies are therefore exploring options to provide farmers with additional income from solar farming while protecting groundwater resources. Solar energy farming is combined with attractive purchase guarantees in order to encourage farmers to efficiently use solar energy on-farm and sel…
Participation modes and diplomacy of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries towards the global sustainability agenda
After decades of reluctance, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries are now more engaged within the global sustainability agenda. Though they historically sought to coordinate strategies, differences in environmental diplomacy and participation modes currently exist. This article examines these differences and links diplomacy to political and economic considerations during different eras. It maps positions, activism in multilateral agreemen…
Sustainable development in the Arab world - is the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region fit for the challenge
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and the wider Arab world are faced with multiple inter-connected dilemmas embedded in the social, economic, and environmental pillars of sustainable development. The question of how to design effective sustainability strategies that are alignedwith the context of the GCC region is a relevant one. In this special issue, contributors have investi-gated the obstacles to sustainable development in the GCC reg…
Beyond the pledges: Reflections on sustainability transitions in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region
The adoption of the SDGs is a step, not a success. (James 2015) On 1 January 2016, 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) paving the way towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development became effective, after being adopted by world leaders at a UN General Assembly held in September 2015. States gave themselves the next 15 years to take concrete action towards achieving these new universally applicable goals. Yet to date, it is evident that t…
Ecological modernization and responses for a low‐carbon future in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries
Low‐carbon development is a challenging endeavor for many fossil fuels exporting nations around the world, and is especially important in light of the recent Paris Agreement on climate change. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have been adopting innovations and policies in order to diversify their economies and decrease environmental degradation. After decades of high demographic and economic growth, balancing ecological concerns and t…
