Conference : private income and modernization in Arab countries

Workshop / Conference

France, Marseille ,
From 03-31-2011 to 03-31-2011

For over 50 years, Arab countries have seen the development of the most diverse forms of predation, impeding emancipation and socio-economic modernization in these countries. These behaviors generally associated with the oil rents (but not always as the Tunisian case indicates), led to a particular type of economic development with a centralism aimed primarily at sustaining rents for leaders groups.

How to explain the recent events in Tunisia, Egypt, and their current extension in Libya and Yemen and elsewhere? Is there a common interpretation of all these national movements? What to expect? Is there an Algerian exception?

Practical details

Targets & objectives
The Invest in Med programme aims at developing sustainable trade relationships, investments and enterprise partnerships between the two rims of the Mediterranean. Funded at 75% by the European Union over the 2008-2011 period, it is implemented by the MedAlliance consortium, which associates economic development organisations (ANIMA, leader of the programme), CCIs (ASCAME, EUROCHAMBRES), and business federations (BUSINESSMED). The members of these networks, as well as their special partners (UNIDO, GTZ, EPA Euroméditerranée, World Bank, etc.), gather a thousand of economic actors - mobilised through pilot initiatives centered on key Mediterranean promising niches. Each year, a hundred operations associate the 27 countries of the European Union and 9 Mediterranean partner countries: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestinian Authority, Syria and Tunisia. www.invest-in-med.eu
