Sayyar al Jamil ( Arabic: سيار الجميل) is a Research Professor at the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha, Qatar. ^[1] Jamil was born in Iraq in 1952, and lived in Mosul before receiving his PhD at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. ^[2]

Jamil's website states a number of works which he has published in Arabic, but he is mostly widely known for his work on his contribution of a new theory (known in Arabic as Arabic: المجايلة or "successive generational shifts") of historical development, in which successive generations shape the course of events over roughly periodic cycles of 30 years or (the estimated duration of a single generation).
