واقع التحول نحو مجتمع المعرفة لتنمية المجتمعات العربية : (التجربة الإماراتية نموذجا)‎ دراسة نظرية تحليلية

Abstract EN

In the context of the expanding knowledge economy, the countries of the world can be divided into two groups: the group of knowledge and consumer countries, on one hand, and the group of dormant countries, on the other hand.

The reason for this division is that the effect and power of the knowledge economy and all its related concepts and applications is derived from the nature of the institutional and societal culture dominant in the country.

If a country believes that its power and future are related to knowledge production and the economic, developmental, and educational exploitation of that production, then this country will view knowledge as a strategic resource that needs to be supported and increased by all possible means.

The researcher used the comparative analytical method .Therefore, this study attempts to shed light on the reality and the challenges facing Arab countries in the transformation towards building the knowledge society with the aim of achieving sustainable development of Arab communities.

The study concludes that there is a widening gap between Arab countries and those countries, which are advanced, in building knowledge societies and in finding a developmental and effective economic entity and an educational environment based on innovation and creativity.

However, the study observed the big efforts made by some Arab Gulf countries, especially the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to build an economy based on knowledge.

Here, the study also observed the high level of investment in the areas of knowledge, artificial intelligence, construction of smart cities, and presentation of digital services.

All of this can be an incentive for other Arab countries and a springing board for the future
