THE ANWAR SADAT CHAIR FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT was established at the University of Maryland, College Park in the fall of 1997 in memory of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. The Chair, under the leadership of the Sadat Professor Shibley Telhami, is housed in the Center for International Development and Conflict Management (CIDCM) and makes its academic home in the Department of Government and Politics. The Chair was made possible by the commitment of Anwar Sadat's widow, Dr. Jehan Sadat, to her husband's legacy of leadership for peace. With support from all levels of the University, Dr. Sadat created an endowment for the Chair from the generous support of many individual contributors from around the world.

***New***2003-2008 Arab Public Opinion Surveys

The newest survey is being conducted in early 2008, with results expected in Spring 2008. Please click here to view results, raw data, or methodological notes.
