The Middle East Journal, Volume 54, Number 3, Summer 2000
Washington, DC: The Middle East Institute, 2000. Special Issue: The Information Revolution. Trade paperback. [7], 352-510 p. Includes illustrations. Footnotes. The Middle East Institute was founded in 1946 by George Camp Keiser and former Secretary of State Christian Herter and since then "has been an important conduit of information between Middle Eastern nations and American policymakers, organizations and the public." Their website goes on to note that they "publish quarterly one of the most prestigious journals on the Middle East, The Middle East Journal." This special issue recognizes that technological revolutions are hard to date, unlike political revolutions. Technological revolutions can promote, or provoke, political and social changes as is evident in the arab work from North Africa to the Arabian Peninsula during 2011. The printing press was of enormous importance to Egypt after Napoleon first brought on into the country; today electrons can fly across borders in many cases with ease, but not without risk. Condition: Very good. No dust jacket as issued. Cover has minor wear and soiling.
