A brief about the book: The book reviews freedom of opinion and expression in international treaties of human rights on the one hand, and restrictions set by these treaties on the other hand. The book also reviews freedom of opinion and expression in the Arab Charter of Human Rights as an example of what has been achieved by the official Arab institution in the field of Human Rights and in particular freedom of opinion and expression.
The book also addresses the subjects of democracy and the sovereignty of the state and the different visions and theories around it according to the different concepts of democracy on the one hand, and sovereignty of state on the other hand. The author also reviews the various theories in this area, which varied based on the political, economic, and historical background of the political theorists in this area.
Moreover the book tried to highlight the problematic relationship between sovereignty and globalisation through freedom of opinion and freedom of expression; taking the Arab World as a case study and reviewing the problems faced when copying the western experiences to Arab Countries and the possibilities of success and failure.

A brief about the book: The guide specifically aims at explaining the role an effective relationship with media in all its forms can play in furthering civil society organizations’ work. To empower CSOs to establish and maintain such a relationship, the guide introduces various written media material and covers the various types of media channels and strategies that an organization might use to support its work.
The book primarily targets those working in public relations for civil society organizations, but the authors have considered an opportunity for a wider audience to make use of their guide. First, because many small organizations lack a specialized department for such work, the executive officers of civil society organizations are usually responsible for media-related tasks and are addressed in the guide as well.
Public and private sector employees can also benefit from the guide because the ground rules for handling public relations are quite similar in different sectors. In addition, journalism and communication students can also make use of the book as a guide for learning to draft copy for the media including press releases and feature stories in a professional manner or for studying how to conduct media conferences and interviews.
