We talk about shifting the power, but are we really shifting the practice
This special issue explores the experiences of those working to #shift the power in international development. In this introduction, we reflect on what it means to translate the rhetoric of power s
Disrupted education a view from inside Syria: Critical literature review and lessons for policy and practice
UN SDG 4 seeks inclusive and quality education for all; however, over 250 million children and youth remain out of school. Conflict is one of the root causes, and the protracted conflict in Syria demonstrates this. Given the very limited research about Syrians who stayed, this critical review assesses the available evidence on root causes and key consequences, organising findings around the SD4 dimensions of access, quality and inclusion. Attenti…
Sociocultural insights on dementia care-giving in Arab and Muslim communities: The perspectives of family care-givers
Little is known about the experiences of informal family care-giving for persons with ADRD in the context of Arab and Muslim communities. This paper offers fresh insight into the less-studied private sphere of the home, showing how families respond to the onset and long-term care of persons with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). It considers the extent to which sociocultural and religious influences are appropriated by family care…

Dementia caregiving in the Middle East and North Africa: A scoping review
Care for persons with dementia in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is undertaken predominantly by family members, domestic workers, and private nurses within the home. Domestic caregivers possess different understandings and varying degrees of knowledge of dementia that are influenced by complex socio-cultural and religious factors. With much of the burden falling on the shoulders of “invisible” caregivers, the role and needs of these indi…
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…

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…
Reflections on the potential (and limits) of action research as ethos, methodology and practice: A case study of a women’s empowerment programme in the Middle East
This paper argues that an evidence-based approach to advocacy led by and targeting women could amplify women’s positioning in the political and economic realms. Participatory Action Research is examined as a process for mobilisation, coalition-building and evidence-based advocacy and action, through a case study of a multi-country British Council supported programme that incorporated an action research approach. 1 Drawing from the experiences and…
