Policy and Strategy Roundtable Reports

HBMSU has taken a pioneering initiative to establish three annual Policy and Strategy Roundtables for facilitating international dialogue, creating useful knowledge and crafting policy recommendations. The Roundtables organized under the auspices of the HBMSU Congress draw experts from UN agencies, academic institutions, government departments, media organizations, business firms, NGOs and consulting organizations from various parts of the world to address contemporary policy issues and challenges facing the Arab World. The following reports have been prepared and published by the Publishing House in English and Arabic for disseminating cutting-edge ideas and policy recommendations throughout the Arab World.
