Saudi Youth: Policies and Practices (Gulf Studies #16)
by Neil Quilliam Mark C. ThompsonThis edited collection develops a more balanced understanding of the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities associated with youth policy formulation and implementation in contemporary Saudi Arabia. It does so by considering the dilemmas, challenges and opportunities present in the contemporary Saudi sociopolitical, socioeconomic, and sociocultural spheres, as well as ways and means by which these can be addressed. Underpinning this is a comprehension of the necessity in understanding policies and processes as related to youth policy formulation and implementation. With regards to Saudi youth policy, decision makers want to be able to prioritize the most important issues. As such, policy and decision makers need ‘direction’ in terms of policy formulation, policy recommendations and policy implementation - that is, they are often searching for viable policies that resonate with young Saudis. Furthermore, lessons can be learnt from previous youth policy initiatives by asking: Why was thispolicy successful? If this policy failed, what were the reasons? Did this policy resonate with young nationals? This edited book unpacks the ways in which comprehending policies and processes are important for youth policy development and implementation in Saudi Arabia. It is relevant to policymakers, as well as scholars in Gulf Studies, and Middle Eastern Studies more broadly, as well as those in youth studies, area studies, and social studies.
Homo Oppositus: Opposites Ideas , New Vision
by Abdulmouti SouwedThe core concept of this book is one that resonates with everyone, yet it is explored and presented in a fresh and unique perspective as envisioned by the author. After delving into and discussing this familiar idea, the author arrives at a profound conclusion: that humans embody contradictions within themselves. This introspection leads back to the timeless question: what truly defines a human? In this insightful exploration, the author proposes that humanity is inherently chaotic and self-contradictory. This raises a compelling question in our current era of digital advancement and artificial intelligence: Are we, as a species, still influenced by an ‘archaic mindset’ in this modern age? This book challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of human nature in the context of rapidly evolving technology.

Vision and Resilience: A Story of Remarkable Growth and Transformation at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College
by Joseph M. Beilein Jr.Vision and Resilience recounts the remarkable turnaround of a satellite campus that became one of the brightest spots in the Penn State University system: Penn State Erie, The Behrend College. Covering the period from 1980 to 2010, this story serves as a blueprint for administrators who aspire to grow their institutions in challenging times.Joseph M. Beilein Jr. writes about how, at a time when tensions were high between faculty and the administration, students and the administration, students and the police, and even among the students themselves, The Behrend College saw an unprecedented increase in enrollment, endowments, land acquisition, building, and curricular opportunities. He describes how administrators John Lilley and Jack Burke worked with local leaders, faculty, and other officials to transform The Behrend College into a research institution—and how they worked with faculty, coaches, and even students to convince young people that Behrend was, in fact, a destination campus. All of these efforts resulted in a college that bucked trends in higher education, demography, and economics to become the leading college in northwestern Pennsylvania.Fascinating and instructive, Vision and Resilience tells an encouraging story of college success against the odds. It will be of interest to university administrators, faculty, and anyone with a personal connection to the Penn State campus farthest from University Park.
