How can I add a white pages after the table of contents in order to have the abstract on a right page?
If I add
\clearpage
\newpage
I cannot get the white page added.
Ideas?

double-sidedpage-breaking

I couldn't find a solution in viable time, so I ended up by manually editing the doc.toc table of contents index and adding several \afterpage \cleardoublepage commands through it to force clearing the pages.
In the main document I replaced the \tableofcontents command with \input doc.toc which prevents indexing a new table of contents and reads the file I've manually edited:
\documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}
\input doc.toc
\chapter{}
\end{document}
If anyone still has a programmatic solution, please contribute.
EDIT: Instead of manually editing the .toc file one can add a
\addtocontents{toc}{\protect\afterpage\protect\cleardoublepage}
command throughout the main text (e.g. after the begining of each chapter), which will add the \cleardoublepage command to the .toc just the same. This way, you can call the toc with \tableofcontents as always.
By default abstract will call the titlepage environment. You can patch it to not do that and then place the two "abstracts" in one title page:
\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\abstract}{\titlepage}{}{}{}
\patchcmd{\endabstract}{\endtitlepage}{}{}
\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{abstract}
This is cool paper about vuvuzelas.
\end{abstract}
\renewcommand{\abstractname}{Acknowledgements}
\begin{abstract}
Thanks Mum!
\end{abstract}
\end{titlepage}
\end{document}

In general you need place something on the page, like
\hbox{}(aka\null), otherwise two page breaks in a row are ignored:But actually you should use
\cleardoublepageinstead! It ensures that the next page is on a right page.
