Abstract

This paper provides background to an international conference that discussed priorities for a research agenda for inclusive and sustainable growth, post Arab Spring. Special interest group (SIG) Working Papers present think-pieces that inform IDRC programming. Authors highlight that the challenges facing the Arab world remain fundamentally unchanged. Despite improvements in many indicators, the region’s economy has stagnated. Although challenges in terms of accountability in the public sector remain, some of the rules of the game have changed, and the public’s voice is now a part of decision making and development.
