The transformation of the Gulf: politics, economics and the global order

This book examines the political, economic and social transformation of the six member-states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the ways in which these states are both shaping and being reshaped by, the processes of globalization. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the volume combines thematic chapters focusing on issues such as globalisation, economic diversification and political thinking with chapters studying specific aspects of reform and change.
