General Information
Brookings experts are following the unrest that is widespread in the Middle East, and in addition are offering recommendations on how to address the continuing issues of nuclear proliferation, democratization, security, and development. The institution’s work on these issues is carried out primarily by a team of experts in Washington and Doha, Qatar with the Saban Center for Middle East Policy and the Brookings Doha Center.

There’s a great advantage in complementary trade and I’d say it’s something we should think about. We need to have a viable economy, and a viable economy today is not just trade with the United States and it’s not in manufactured goods. It’s in the knowledge sector.
