The Arab Countries: At A Glance
Latest update: July 20, 2010. Latest article/document by Jawad Hashim.
Nearly two decades ago, immediately after the invasion of Kuwait by Saddam Hussein, United States Congress member (later Presidential candidate) Paul Simon sought Jawad Hashim's opinion on how he sees the Middle East post Gulf War. Hashim provided Mr. Simon his written opinion on The Shape Of The Post Gulf War, Middle-East. It became part of U.S. Congressional Record. Part of that written opinion dealt with the background of the Arab region. What follows is an extract of that paper. Here, Hashim calls it The Arab Countries: At a Glance. Surprisingly, what was described two decades ago as characteristics of the Arab countries then still apply now at present time!

One of Dr. Jawad Hashim's achievements, and by far the most internationally visible, is the establishment of INVESTCORP -- a unique financial entity during the period 1980-1982 while I was at the helm of AMF. Here in this website, he gives a rare insight into the true story behind the creation of INVESTCORP. He does so because there is no agony like bearing an untold story inside oneself. Apart from presenting INVESTCORP story, this website contains a variety of topics and comments in politics, finance, Iraq and recent international events. |
