摘要：The Arab world increasingly finds itself in the spotlight of
world attention, with most analysis and discussion
focused on political and security issues in the region,
particularly since 9/11 and the momentous events that
followed. While this is perhaps inevitable, given the
region¡¯s strategic importance as the principal source of
energy for the global economy, there is growing
acceptance among prominent leaders in these countries,
that only reform¡ªand comprehensive economic
reform¡ªwill enable the region¡¯s development agenda to
move forward, and to broaden the sources of growth.
This Report is intended as a contribution to better
understanding the problems and challenges which
confront the Arab countries. What will it take to revitalize
growth? What are the priorities for authorities and
policymakers, as they seek to unleash a process of
modernization that will release the vast, unfulfilled
potential of the Arab world? What are the costs of inertia
and inaction?
