Comparative Study on Microfinance and in the Middle Eastern Arab Countries and Their Impacts

小额信贷被普遍认为对减少贫困和创造就业机会具有积极影响。该研究项目旨在调查中东阿拉伯国家的物流业的实际情况及其影响。在该项目的第一年，全球金融危机爆发，自然影响到该区域的小额供资机构。2011年，从突尼斯开始的所谓“阿拉伯之春”民主化运动蔓延到大多数阿拉伯国家。这些事件使我认识到现实的活力，我扩大了我的视角来考虑发展和治理。虽然研究主题改变了，但我还是得到了一些研究成果，并发表了几篇关于这些事件的文章。

The microfinance(MF) is generally considered to have the positive impacts on the reduction of poverty and on the job-creation. This research project aimed to survey the actual situation of the MF industries in the Middle Eastern Arab countries and their impacts. In the first year of this project, the global financial crisis broke out which naturally affected the MFIs in this region. In 2011, the democratization movement so called "Arab Spring" begun from Tunisia spread to most of the Arab countries. These events made me realize the dynamism of the realities and I enlarged my perspective to consider the development and governance. Although the research theme was altered, I could get some research results and have published several articles concerning these incidents.
