Network Decentralized Governance: Examples, Risks, Benefits, and Applications
(Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government, 2025-12-01) Esposito, Mark.; Morini, Massimo
This review explores the current landscape of decentralized governance as enabled by blockchain technology, examining its development, implementation, risks, benefits, and applications. We survey key case studies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tezos, Cardano and Algorand, assess
the governance models of DAOs, and consider emerging regulatory frameworks such as the U.S. Financial Innovation and Technology Act. We also
explore how decentralized governance interfaces with AI and operational resilience. The review concludes by identifying future directions and
conditions necessary to realize effective decentralized systems.

Bridging the AI Divide: inclusive governance innovation & competitiveness in the MENA region
(Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government, 2025-10) Alkhoudi, Salma; Shaer, Sarah; Salem, Fadi
The report provides an in-depth examination of the state of artificial intelligence (AI) governance and competitiveness across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It captures how Arab countries are adopting AI technologies, building digital infrastructure, and shaping regulatory frameworks to keep pace with global developments. Based on extensive fieldwork covering 327 AI and digital SMEs across ten countries, the study offers valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges shaping the region’s AI ecosystem. Findings reveal that the UAE and Saudi Arabia are emerging as regional leaders in AI readiness, supported by strong infrastructure, investment, and policy direction, while other MENA countries continue to navigate fragmented regulations, limited funding access, and talent gaps. Despite these disparities, the report highlights growing optimism among businesses and a shared recognition of the role of AI in driving innovation and economic growth. By emphasizing responsible governance, ethical frameworks, and regional cooperation, the report calls for strengthening AI education, research, and investment to bridge the AI divide and position the MENA region as a competitive and inclusive contributor to the global AI landscape. The study was developed in partnership with Google.org.
