Some Persian Gulf states have capitalized on the quick pace of globalized fiscal transactions,
transforming themselves into important markets for foreign investment. Others have
fallen victim to such risky speculation. This has led the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) to reevaluate the integrity of the "Dubai Model" of economic diversification,
as they search for an ideal method to organize their economies and compete within
the global order. While exploring the greater dimensions that globalizing forces have
brought to the political economies of Persian Gulf states, this book also considers
recent changes instituted during and following the global economic crisis of 2008.
While mutually beneficial rentier arrangements have guided the GCC countries' formation
of oil-based economies and labor relations in the past, will this necessarily be true
in the future? In addition to addressing this key concern, this volume confronts future
demographic changes within GCC countries; the feasibility of establishing a GCC monetary
union; the effects of rentierism on state autonomy; and the successes and failures
of sovereign wealth funds and Islamic banking models
