"The relation of innovation and development has been closely examined for countries such as New Zealand, Chile, Finland, Ireland, Slovenia and the East Asian tigers. However, until now little attention has been devoted to the Arab world. This volume is a welcome primer to science, technology, and innovation of 22 countries in the Middle East and North Africa. International organizations, policymakers, and scholars devoted to Arab development will find this to be a useful guide to the science and technology infrastructure of those countries." --Walter D. Valdivia, Mercatus Center, George Mason University
