In collaboration with the World Association for Sustainable Development (WASD), MEKEI produces various books to spread information all over the world, and to promote its aims and activities through various other partners. Many consider the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region as one of the most important emerging parts of the world economy in the 21st century. MENA is also strategically vital as it produces the majority of the world’s oil. However despite the region’s oil, most MENA countries score lower on Human Development Index (HDI) world ranking, with GDP, productivity and investment rates well below the global average. It is, therefore, becoming widely accepted that the dominant economic model of the region – based on the public sector, oil incomes and workers’ remittances –is not up to the challenges of modern globalisation and the needs of advanced knowledge-based societies. Given the apparently contradictory needs of economic growth and environmental conservation, it comes as no surprise that knowledge management (KM), innovation and sustainable development (SD) have had such a powerful influence in contemporary discussions on the future of the region. The book series will act as a forum to provide senior academics and leading scholars, government and policy maker, business professional (individuals and societies) with the best available knowledge essential for achieving SD. We are very keen to feature country-specific case studies from all countries in the MENA region. We welcome contributions from all senior academics, professional leaders, students, etc. Please check our experts network directory and upload your details here. We are also happy to include your videos in our dedicated TV Channel.
