Good Neighbourly Relations: Jordan, Israel and the 1994–2004 Peace Process
In 1994, Jordan and Israel signed a peace agreement and set out to create a ‘warm peace’ between their countries. The peace was to include an extensive network of bilateral economic, security and societal relationships and serve as potential model for future relations between Israel and other Arab nations.

The Greater Middle East and Reform in the Bush Administration's Ideological Imagination
In pursuit of its foreign‐policy goals, the administration of President George W. Bush has attempted a dramatic reshaping of the vision of the Middle East in the American mind. References to the "new" or "greater" Middle East now include countries far outside traditional concepts of the region, including those in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia. The administration argues that this region is defined not by cultural (Arab) or religiou…

Assessing the Spatial Structure of Urban and Population Growth in the Greater Cairo Area, Egypt: A GIS and Imagery Analysis Approach
This article examines growth in the extent of Cairo's urban area and changes in population distribution between 1986 and 1996. It includes a quantitative assessment of urban growth and changing patterns of population density in the city's administrative sub-districts. In a unique contribution to the available research on Cairo, the population density for the built-up area of the census units is calculated, giving much greater insight into the cit…
Heritage planning in Cairo: Multiple heritages in a mega-city
Although the Pyramids are undoubtedly the first image that comes to mind when thinking of Cairo, the city has a wealth of diverse cultural heritage. Yet this abundance may be more of a curse than a blessing as it complicates efforts to include heritage preservation in the urban planning process. Currently, heritage planning efforts lack coordination as various agencies and governmental entities have control over different monuments, the land they…

Hot 'lanta's Urban Expansion and Cultural Landscape Change
Without doubt, Atlanta, Georgia, is hot--and not just in ambient temperature. Employment growth and urban sprawl are the most obvious impacts of the city's post--Civil War, Olympics-led, premillennial ascension. However, more subtle forces are redefining cultural landscapes in the South's most striving and visible wanna-be world city. Over the course of its life Atlanta has been through changes worthy of any metropolis, from piedmont town to Conf…
Changing Cairo: The Political Economy of Urban Form
Although a firm theoretical foundation for understanding the relationship between political economy and urban form has been created in the western based literature, such approaches are of limited applicability for understanding cities in the developing world. By analyzing the impact of four political economic regimes (Islamic, Imperialist, Arab Socialist and Transitory) on the urbanscape of Cairo, this article illustrates how political economic r…
African Urbanization: Dependent Linkages in a Global Economy
The colonial experience drastically altered the indigenous urban system in Africa, replacing it with a European‐driven urban system designed to facilitate the extraction of resources. The urban system, and the nature of ties with the colonial power, allowed African integration into the world economy only in a dependent fashion. These dependent ties were deepened as the world economy became more globalized in the post‐colonial period. The continen…
Cities in the Desert: The Egyptian New-Town Program
Faced with the unrelenting growth of the primate city, Cairo, the government of Egypt has implemented new town policies to redistribute the nation's population away from the fertile Nile Delta region to new desert cities. This paper examines these policies while attempting to determine the success of the new cities in achieving their goals. The development of economic activity and permanent populations were the major criteria used to evaluate the…
Economic Recovery and Reconstruction in Postwar Beirut
For many westerners the dominant image of Beirut, its buildings reduced to bombed-out shells riddled with bullet holes, freezes the city in time. Although the memory of Lebanon's civil-war landscape looms large in the collective consciousness, the nation has moved forward and seeks a revived economic role in the Middle East. And Beirut is being rebuilt. The society and government confront the dual tasks of reconstructing the physical infrastructu…
