Economies of the Arabian Gulf

<p>This book first published in 1984 examines the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council: Saudi Arabia Kuwait Bahrain Qatar Oman and UAE. Culturally historically geographically and politically the GCC countries represent a rare instance of regional homogeneity and they face similar problems and challenges. Despite their international importance as oil exporters there is a lack of solid statistical information on each country or as a region as a whole. This book addresses that gap with a substantial collection of data on the individual countries and the larger region.</p>
