Paperback. Condition: New. This book explores the governance of smart cities from a holistic approach, arguing that the creation of smart cities must consider the specific circumstances of each country to improve the preservation, revitalisation, liveability, and sustainability of urban areas. The recent push for smart cities is part of an effort to reshape urban development through megaprojects, centralised master planning, and approaches that convey modernism and global affluence. However, moving towards a citywide smart transition is a major undertaking, and complexities are expected to grow exponentially. This book argues that a comprehensive approach is necessary to consider all relevant aspects. The chapters seek to identify the potential and pitfalls of the smart transformation of urban communities and its role in sustainability goals; share state-of-the-art practices concerning technology, policy, and social science dimensions in smart cities and communities; and develop opportunities for cooperation and partnership in wider and larger research and development programmes. Divided into three parts, the first part of the book highlights the significance of various societal elements and factors in facilitating a successful smart transition, with a particular emphasis on the role of human capital. The second part delves into the challenges associated with technology and its integration into smart city initiatives. The final part of the book examines the current state of regulations and policies governing smart cities. The book will be an important asset for students and researchers studying law, engineering, political science, international relations, geopolitics, economics, and engineering.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This open access book provides a topical overview of education, development plans, the knowledge economy, and human development in the State of Qatar, focusing on socio-political and cultural challenges, from a policy perspective. It describes the ecosystem of education and its features, impacts, and the factors that facilitate or inhibit its current shape and development, including the pendulum of internationalization versus localization of education and indigenous knowledge. The book serves as an arena to engage vital discourse on the importance of early childhood education and inclusive education systems, particularly for those with diverse abilities. In view of the transformations occurring in the education systems in the Gulf Region over the past few decades, the book examines the advancement of education in Qatar and the critical political, economic, and cultural influences shaping education development plans, reforms, and policies. The book identifies the key factors and barriers that continue to hinder governmental initiatives in the region, in terms of the need to elevate the quality of key fields. The authors unpack the requirements imposed on policymakers in the broader Gulf region and pinpoint the need for Qatar to adopt more sustainable and state-of-the-art education policies, programs, and tools, to ameliorate the quality of education. In doing so, the book draws an all-inclusive portrayal of education in the country and its links to human and economic development. It identifies the transformations required to adapt to changing conditions, particularly within a dynamic and increasingly competitive job market. Bringing together academics and experts in public policy, education, development, and related social sciences in the Arabian Gulf, this book contributes to co-creating innovative and multidisciplinary solutions within higher education, relevant to both students and scholars in these respective fields. 544 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This open access volume focuses on the various processes of state formation and the significant role that organization, citizens, and institutions are coming to play in forming policy in the resource-rich Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. As rentier states, they feature unique systems of governance and policy making. The Gulf region is employing unprecedented influence on international affairs and is a key player in the restructuring of the Middle East and North Africa post 9/11 and following the Arab Spring. The region has an increasingly vital role in the global contemporary system of international power, politics, and policymaking. And yet despite the recent rise of the Gulf Arab states to global power, notably Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain, their policymaking remains under researched. This book pulls focus to their various processes of state policy formation. It considers these states' social, political, and economic development, providing a comparative analysis of policy practices and results, citizens engagement, public-private partnership, human development and human capital, and provides analyses on foreign policy, sovereignty, security, and links to domestic politics. It shows the specific nature of governance relationships in the GCC and this how this is, in turn, affected by the specific nature of social capital and public opinion, as well as leadership and the culture of the business community in the GCC. These, the book suggests, pose challenges to public policy making and delivery in this region. Bringing together experts in public policy analysis, policy implementation and evaluation, governance, international affairs, public administration, public management, and other related social sciences from within and beyond the Middle East, this book is a vital text confronting the gap in the real mechanics of policymaking in the region. This is an open access book. 356 pp. Englisch. …
