This handbook provides the first comprehensive reference book in English about the development of mass and social media in all Arab countries. Capturing the historical as well as current developments in the media scene, this collection maps the role of media in social and political movements. Contributors include specialists in the field from North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Each chapter provides an overview of the history, regulatory frameworks and laws governing the press, and socio-political functions of the media. While the geopolitical complexities of the region have been reflected in the expert analyses collectively, the focus is always the local context of each member state. All 38 chapters consider the specific historical, political, and media trajectories in each country, to provide a contextual background and foundation for further study about single states or comparative analysis in two or more Arab states. Capturing significant technological developments and the widespread use of social media, this all-inclusive volume on Arab media is a key resource for students and scholars interested in journalism, media, and Middle East studies.

Book Description
Information and communications technologies (ICT) have considerable potential to promote development and economic growth, by helping to foster innovation, improve productivity and expand the knowledge capacity of developing countries, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. This is the fourth report in the series, published by UNCTAD, which seeks to assess the implications of the growing role of ICTs in economic development. Issues discussed include: the growth of e-commerce and issues for international dialogue; e-business survey results in Latin America; the use of digital and internet technologies in the creative industries, particularly in the music industry; online learning in the higher education sector; government e-commerce applications in e-procurement; legal issues and challenges of data privacy in an information society; and the ICT sector in Tunisia and the development of a national e-strategy.

Book Description
Tunisia has encouraged and enhanced the effective use of information% technologies, including the Internet by making them widely accessible. The government started an action plan in 1997 to spread Internet connections to all classes of the community. In the meantime the government understood the benefits provided by e-commerce and established an electronic commerce taskforce (from the government and the private sectors) to study the implementation of e- commerce in Tunisia. Following that, six pilot projects about various Tunisian- made products and services were launched online. Today e-commerce services covering a wide range of Tunisian products including crafts, foodstuffs (dates, olive oil, and desserts), textiles, tourist services, stamps, and hotel reservations. A direct result of this general atmosphere of e-commerce is the emergence of trade exponentially as an important sector in the Tunisian economy. The incorporation of information technology as an important ingredient of its economy resulted in a steady growth of the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Its exponential adoption of the Internet and its applications, principally e-commerce, seemingly contributed to the Tunisian economic growth.

Harnessing Digital Technologies to Promote SMEs in the MENAP Region

Book Description
Policy makers in the MENAP region have been formulating policies and designing programs to develop small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) with a view to create jobs and achieve inclusive growth. But while the programs have helped increase the number of enterprises, growth of SMEs continues to face barriers to growth. As a result, microenterprises predominate and SMEs contribution to employment remains below potential. Partial implementation of reforms explain some of the underperformance, but frictions in strategy design also played an important role. Sustaining current reforms is, therefore, not sufficient to achieve inclusive growth. Digital technologies have potential to boost SMEs productivity and growth and economies are rapidly digitalizing, thus SMEs need to embrace digital solutions to compete and survive. Therefore, for SMEs to be effective engines of inclusive growth, a rethinking of the SME development strategy is needed that makes SMEs' digital transformation a priority.
