| Summary/Abstract |
The Arab world is a region of considerable importance for world peace and the global economy. This region, however, is enduring slow development, political instability, extremism, and many ominous prospects of constant conflicts and turmoil. Pressures are mounting from within and from without for change and reform. This article reviews some of the most salient issues facing the region today and examines the opportunities for reform. Particular emphasis is on national development, governance, succession of authority, and Arab-American relations.
