Welcome to My Survey 

Dear Colleagues and Friends.

I am conducting a study about “The political and socio-economic environment and the professionalisation of Public Relations in the Arab Middle East: a comparative study of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates”.

Broom et al. (2000) summarized the definition of an organisation-public relationship as the following:

“Organisation -public relationships are represented by the patterns of interaction, transaction, exchange, and linkage between an organisation and its publics”. (p. 18)

This explains the importance of the present study. From reviewing the literature in both Arabic and English, and from discussions with numerous Public Relations practitioners throughout the Arab Middle East, it is clear that this investigation is amongst the first to attempt a detailed examination of the standard of PR professionalism in the region. The findings will provide the evidence for a comprehensive analysis with particular reference to two Arab countries with contrasting political systems: the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Moreover; It will contribute to the global study of Public Relations by providing an Arab perspective that will analyse how the profession is developing in a region that is currently undergoing great change.
