A new Gulf is rising, one that is more self assertive, looking to expand its membership to other Arab countries such as Jordan and Morocco, while at the same time strengthening the bloc’s relationship with current and emerging trading and strategic partners in Europe, USA and Asia.
Regional and international realities, especially the uncertainties unleashed by the ‘Arab Spring’, are forcing Gulf leadership to initiate new policies involving closer cooperation amongst GCC countries to address emerging challenges.
This volume brings together thirty renowned academics and specialists to examine a range of multifaceted social, political and economic issues facing the GCC in key areas such as:
· Diversification from a high dependency on a narrow hydrocarbon base
· Social transformation, youth employment and effective gender participation
· Outward and inward foreign direct investment flows
· Prospects for education reforms and e-learning.
· Sustainable security in oil, renewable energy (including nuclear) and food
· Corporate governance, transparency and enhancing the private sector's operating environment
· The role and governance of Gulf Sovereign Wealth Funds in investing their surpluses.
The volume also offers insights for challenges facing the GCC in monetary union, expanding the regional debt market and Sukuk issuance, GCC intellectual property rights application, detailed assessments of individual GCC country risk analysis, as well as the sustainability of long term government fiscal stimulus programs at the expense of private sector involvement.
