Near East/South Asia Report, The Arabs in the Year 2000.
Abstract
The Arabs in the Year 2000" is the subject of a survey conducted by AL-MAJALLAH on Arab conditions by the end of this, the 20th, century and the beginning of the next, the 21st, century. Those Arab conditions that were the subject of the survey were political, economic, military, cultural and social. In this broad-based survey over 80 Arab intellectuals who are directly involved in the aforementioned areas were questioned by AL-MAJALLAH, and they were asked a group of questions. The result of that survey was a broad investigative report that will be published in installments. This report begins with an installment that deals with the political situation; other installments will be published in sequence in future issues. During this period of factionalism, dissolution, loss and frustration which the Arab homeland has been experiencing--and this has been indisputably the worst period in modern Arab history--we here in AL-MAJALLAH have tried to do what people who feel the world closing in on them usually do. We have been repeating what a poet said about how confining and limiting life would be without hope. So we set our sights on the future and chose a prominent time marker: the beginning of the 21st century, a century that holds the promise of an exciting future for mankind.
