Social and Economic Development in the Arab Gulf (RLE Economy of Middle East) - Routledge Library Editions: The Economy of the Middle East
Tim Niblock
The crucial importance of the Gulf region today ? which may be defined as comprising the states of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, with Iran as a non-Arab onlooker ? has stimulated surprisingly little interest in academic circles. Much of what has been written, moreover, focuses exclusively on those aspects of direct concern to external interests. The focus of this book is on the Gulf region as an area with its own problems of social, economic and political development. It examines the dimensions of the attempts by the governments and peoples of the area to create new social, economic and political structures ? stemming mainly, of course, from their new-found oil wealth.
First published in 1980.
