Democratic Transition
in Mauritania…………………………. Abdul Rahman Hassan Mujammal 11
The democratic transition in Mauritania is considered a successful experience in comparison with the rest of the Arab experiences. Yet, Mauritania only reached this successful transition after a lengthy period of labor, in which a number of factors, both internal and external, converged to bring it about. These factors did not occur all at once, but emerged in different stages that supported Mauritania’s successive democratic transitions that allowed it to bypass the list of authoritarian countries to be included as a hybrid country in the 2021 Democracy Index. However, this experience is still faced with many obstacles, which democratic consolidation in Mauritania is dependent on overcoming them.

Judaization of Jerusalem: A Reading of
the Government Plan 3790………………………….. Malikah Abdul Latif 30
Since its occupation of Jerusalem, Israel has been imposing policies, plans, and programs aimed at consolidating control and strengthening sovereignty over East Jerusalem, and a gradual settling of the lands. Amongst these plans is Plan No. 3790, which Israel claims it aims to reduce economic and social gaps, and achieve economic development in East Jerusalem. However, in reality, applying this plan in East of Jerusalem, will create further economic and social gaps and will have adverse results on the Palestinians there. As this is another method employed by Israel to enable it to move forward with its uprooting project, and the economic and social plan is just a tool that contribute to the realization of this project.
Keywords: Jerusalem, Settlement, Plan 3790, Economic and Social Development.
The impact of the transnational family bond on international relations:
the Sinai settlement as a model……………………………. Mutamer Amin 44
The Sinai settlement project 1902-1903 represented a milestone in the Zionist movement attempts of building a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. The Zionist leaders proposed this project after their direct negotiations with the Ottoman Empire have failed, but they were unable to influence the British government, which was then occupying Egypt, to grant them land in Sinai. Then came the massacres against the Jews in western Tsarist Russia in 1903, which led to waves of immigration to the West. It was then that the Zionist leaders resorted to seek help from the Rothschild family. With the aid of the Rothschilds, the Zionist project succeeded in overcoming the obstacles in front of it, a testament to the influential role played by some transnational family ties in international relations.
Keywords: International Actors, Sinai Settlement, Herzl, Rothschild, The Zionist Movement.
Academic teaching and advanced practices in Arab universities
(Sudan and Qatar as Models)………………….. Hassan Hamid Meshikah 61
The development of public policy studies as a research field has been associated with Western universities and research centers, while some say that public policies, their theories and applications were not created only in the West, arguing that the Middle East and North Africa and other regions in the world such as Japan, have their well-established traditions in the management science and the study of public policies. This study examincs the experiences of Sudan and Qatar in teaching public policies, and analyzes their experiences in academic teaching of public policies using the descriptive, analytical and comparative approaches, trying to answer questions related to why teaching public policies and their reform in Arab universities fell behind.
Keywords: Sudan, Qatar, Public Policies, Policy Science, Academic Teaching, Teaching Curricula.
The Russian-Atlantic confrontation in Ukraine
and its repercussions on the Arab world (file)
The Russian-Ukrainian crisis and its reflection on political and
security transformations in the Arab region……………….. Fouad Gedo 81
The Ukrainian crisis has repercussions not only on Russia and Ukraine, but also on all countries of the world, including the Middle East region, especially with respent of energy and food security, and this is what prompted the Arab countries to adapt to these repercussions through initiatives based on strengthening regional Arab security, or by reformulating regional security according to a new approach that governs partnership with major powers, whether security or economic. However, the rapid developments in the Russian-Ukrainian crisis prompted these countries to develop future visions to readapt with the international transformations that tend towards a multilateral system, to confront the current security threats.

The Russian-Ukrainian War and the Regional
Arab Order……………………………………………………. Obaid Al-Halimi 102
This research deals with the impact of international changes in the Arab regional system, and approximates the effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war on balances and alliances in the Arab region. The research concludes that the Western-Russian conflict in Eastern Europe has an impact on the internal and external power balance in the region, through increasing the security risks threatening the stability of the Arab world. This pushes the Arab countries to establish alliances outside the scope of the regional system, with the aim of preserving survival.
Keywords: The Russian-Ukrainian war, The Arab Regime, The Regional Balance of Power, Alliances.
Algeria and Russia: the repercussions of the war in Ukraine
and the search for new alliances………………………… Ammara Amrous 117
This paper examines the impact of Russian-Atlantic war in Ukraine on the vision of countries and their awareness of their position within the geopolitical map of the world, through studying what repercussions the war has on Algeria, which enjoys good relations with Russia. Given the scales of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Algerian vision focuses on building new/renewing regional alliances in its Mediterranean space, especially since it rich with energy resources (gas and oil). This is clearly evident after strengthening its relations with Italy and Turkey, whether as of economic partnership and strategic cooperation. Thus, this paper is concerned with the Algerian vision of the conflict in Ukraine, and provides a reading of the new alliances in this context.
Keywords: Algeria, Russia, The Ukrainian Crisis, War Repercussions, New Alliances.
