Introduction to special issue: Education for sustainable development and global citizenship in the Gulf Corporation Council
Social Sustainability, Inclusive Cities and the Legacy of Fifa in Qatar: The Case of Education City
Social sustainability, particularly in the form of inclusive cities, is high on the global agenda. One local manifestation working towards these goals in Qatar is Qatar Foundation for Education, Science, and Community Development’s Education City: a large campus with multiple schools, universities, communities, and cultural institutions, as well as home to one of the major stadiums of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament, hitherto the most ac…
Globalization and national identity: A qualitative approach
I had the full support of my family! This family support tops everything else’: Facilitators for Arabs with disabilities in Israel to lead meaningful, independent, and dignified lives by applying self…
This study aims to explore the significance of facilitators for Arabs with disabilities to lead meaningful, independent, and dignified lives by applying self-efficacy theory and the ecological model in a resource-poor environment. Semi-structured in-depth interviews of fifteen Arabs with physical, visual, and psychiatric disabilities who live in the community were conducted. Thematic analysis revealed two major themes, focusing on facilitators fo…
The role of the family in re-imagining Islam, cultural traditions and society in the Arabian Gulf
Purpose There have been significant ruptures in family formation and dynamics in the Arabian Gulf. Scholars usually outline the following key determinants: educational reform and the labour market, particularly for women; urbanization; technology uptake; migration, and population demographics; as well as globalization general. Few studies explore the impact of rapid development on the faith and family nexus. Design/methodology/approach This study…
The European Muslim Crisis and the Post-October 7 Escalation
Israel’s war on Gaza following 7 October 2023 has given birth to several political and social changes in European nations. According to the United Nations Report of the Special Rapporteur, Israel has used this moment to “distort” international humanitarian law principles “in an attempt to legitimize genocidal violence against the Palestinian people.” In the European context, this has led to European Muslims and non-Muslims, including organization…
Ecological-economic assessment of forest land degradation neutrality in the Indus River Basin of Pakistan
National Identity in Qatar: A Systematic Literature Review
The Arabian Gulf region has witnessed tremendous social, political and economic change in recent decades. The State of Qatar's ambitious global visions mean that it is a significant player in both creating and riding these transformational waves. Yet with a minority citizen population of only ~12%, protecting the language, culture and values of the nation in the midst of rapid development and modernization presents unique challenges that most gov…
The experiences of Palestinian Arabs with disabilities in Israel
Purpose Israel ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and has subsequently worked towards putting disability-empowering policies and facilities in place. This study explores the experiences of Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel with disabilities in everyday life including education, employment and accessing disability facilities and services. Design/methodology/approach This study explores the challenge…
State Aspirations for Social and Cultural Transformations in Qatar
Qatar is on a mission to cultivate a thriving, globally competitive, knowledge-based economy, shifting away from its rentier economic model, as well as being a key international player on the world stage. This article focuses on Qatar's social and cultural sphere, exploring the Qatari state's vision for society in the midst of these grand agendas. Through a systematic analysis of six key national documents (KNDs), such as the Qatar National Visio…
Globalisation, policy transferring and indigenisation in higher education: The case of Qatar's education city
Qatar’s transition from a hydrocarbon-based to a knowledge-based economy spurred the development of Education City, which houses several International Branch Campuses and one home-grown university, Hamad bin Khalifa University. Through the case study of EC, this paper seeks to improve our understanding of higher education policy borrowing and the complex process of indigenisation. Using secondary data from prior studies, it offers a discussion on…
Majority-Minority Relations and Targeted Violence: The Hazara Community in Afghanistan
Using a conflict model to analyse Majority-Minority relations (M-M), this paper focuses on the Hazara community in Afghanistan. Assuming M-M relations are power relations, the struggle for control among divergent ethnic groups has persisted. The Hazaras have historically resided in several provinces and experienced various forms of targeted violence. Millions have fled to other countries to escape persecution. This research diverges from dominant…
Value-based frameworks and peace education in faith-neutral, faith-based and faith-inspired schools in Islamabad: A comparative analysis
This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of diverse moral and value-based frameworks within the context of peace education. The selected schools represent three distinct ideological orientations: secular and faith-neutral (Roots Millennium School System/RMS), faith-inspired (International Islamic University School-IIUI School System), and faith-based Deobandi Madrassa (Jamia' Faridiyya Islamabad). Employing a comparative case study appro…
Education for sustainable development and global citizenship education in the GCC: A systematic literature review
Countries in the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) are undergoing tremendous social and economic change in a bid to transform their societies into thriving knowledge-based economies embedded within the global system. Education is at the heart of the agenda. This has led to sweeping, mainly neo-liberal educational reforms. Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and, to a lesser extent global citizenship education (GCED), is a vital part of this …
The development of the education system in Qatar: Assessing the intended and unintended impacts of privatization policy shifts
Qatar is caught in the struggle between reformation of its educational system to create a dynamic, local workforce and prepare their citizens for the competitive global market for higher education and jobs, whilst preserving the country’s values, tradition and language. This paper examines the recent policy shifts, hitherto underexplored, analysing the intended and unexpected impacts that influenced subsequent policy reform. It begins with a back…
I am an Arab Palestinian living in Israel with a disability’: Marginalisation and the limits of human rights
This article examines Arabs with disabilities living in Israel. Centring their experiences and voices, it argues that the group’s marginalisation is predominantly shaped by the ongoing political conflict. Arabs in Israel suffer deep social and institutional marginalisation on the basis of their ethnic identity and perceived threat and opposition to the state. Arabs with disabilities are neither exempted nor alleviated from this discriminatory fra…
Pashtun Neo-Ethnonationalism
The aim of this paper is threefold. Firstly, it seeks to examine the genesis and widespread adoption of a more inclusive and expansive political trend known as Pashtun neo-ethnonationalism in Pakistan. Secondly, it aims to investigate the various dimensions, trajectories, and growing influence of neo-ethnonationalism among diverse social forces, including left-leaning groups, Islamists, developmentalists, modern professionals, and others. Lastly,…
Self-Perspectives on Marriage Among Arabs With Disabilities Living in Israel
This study aims to examine the subjective perspectives on marriage of Arabs with disabilities living in Israel. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among 15 Arabs in Israel with physical, visual impairment, and mental disorders. Themes were generated using thematic analysis. Two main recursive and intertwined themes emerged: reflections about marriage and the reality of marriage. The real-life situation feeds into social perceptions: when t…
The Ahl-e-Hadith: From British India to Britain
Studies on Salafism tend to put the spotlight on the Middle East, rendering all other movements as secondary offshoots. In the British context, research typically focuses on British Salafi groups and their close relationship with Arab Salafis; it usually locates the origins of the British Salafi movement in the 1980s with the rise of cohorts among second-generation Muslims and converts to Islam, with fleeting remarks on the South Asian Ahl-e-Hadi…
British Muslims Navigating between Individualism and Traditional Authority
According to some sociologists, one of the hallmarks of modernity is the end of 'pre-determined' identities and its replacement with bricolage projects in which people literally create 'do-it-yourself' identities. This has also significantly impacted the religious sphere, where it has been argued that traditional authorities are constantly undermined by individualistic cultures, print media, rising literacy rates and, more recently, the internet.…

On the Transformative Potential of the Elite Groups in Shaping Societies: The Case of Islahi
In a political sociology setting, this research concerns the central location of elite groups in relation to the non-elite sections of society in the process of social change. It does so by focusing on the ideas and approach of an eminent reformist scholar and once staunch Islamist ideologue, Amin Ahsan Islahi. Studies on elites abound in the social sciences literature due to elite’s conceivable roles and effects in/on societies. Muslim intellect…
Excavations at Euesperides (Benghazi): An interim report on the 1998 season
A third season of excavation and finds analysis at Euesperides in March/April 1998 completed the fieldwork of the project begun in 1995. Further examination of the city defences suggests that their first phase should be dated not later than the early sixth century BC. The earliest masonry buildings within (and abutting) the city wall seem to belong to the 580s/570s BC. Other discoveries included a plain pebble pavement and a decorated ‘mixed styl…
