Abstract
In 1979, Stevan Dedijer invited me to participate in a meeting on “The Knowledge Industry and the Process of Development” which he organized at the Development Centre of OECD. I believe that, at the time, hardly anyone in the Arab World knew of his pioneering work on social intelligence, nor had he been — as far as I know — a frequent visitor to the region. Since then he has been to Saudi Arabia more than once, to Egypt, to Syria, and lately to Tunisia. In all these Arab states he preached the cause of social intelligence through lectures, seminars, consultant reports and feasibility studies.
