Specifically, this recent research covers: Economic Diversification Development of Global Partnerships Labor Markets and Migration Financial Markets as Global Players The work brings together state-of-the-art analysis by some 40 international scholars who participated in a major joint initiative by the EU and the GCC, the al-Jisr Gulf-Europe Research Program. This collection will prove an essential reference work for policy makers and scholars on all the critical issues facing the Gulf countries as their economies develop beyond dependence on the oil and gas sector and forge new international alliances. \u003cb\u003e Additional information on the four volumes\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe GCC in the Global Economy, \u003ci\u003e edited by Richard Youngs (Director-General, FRIDE, Madrid) \u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Changing geopolitical realities have seen the Gulf region turning to Asia and Africa to build new economic links, while strengthening old ones. This proactive internationalism is visible not just in economics and energy, but also in politics and security where a host of new agreements has been developed. This work provides an overview of the ways in which the GCC states now need to move ahead with reforms that will reflect issues such as raised expectations from a period of high revenues and the region's demographics. \u003ci\u003e200 pages \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eResources Blessed: Diversification and the Gulf Development Model, \u003ci\u003eedited by Giacomo Luciani (Paris School of International Affairs, Sciences-Po, and Princeton Global Scholar)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e The Gulf countries have adopted a unique combination of policies to encourage diversification with largely positive results, while there are significant distinctions between the individual cases. This work evaluates various examples to show the extent to which the Gulf economies have diversifed to date, and how results can be measured, taking into consideration factors such as composition of GDP or exports; government services; and the categorization of industrial activities downstream of resources extraction (oil refining, petrochemicals) and their availability (aluminium, phosphates, iron, steel, glass and other energy- and resource-intensive industries). 328 pages. \u003cb\u003eGCC Financial Markets: The World's New Money Centers, \u003ci\u003eedited by Eckart Woertz (Princeton Environmental Institute, Princeton University)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e Bond markets in the GCC countries are underdeveloped, and the capital mix is heavily skewed towards banks, while ambitious development plans in fields like petrochemicals and infrastructure, as well as a rapidly growing population, create an increased need for finance. This study outlines the structure of various segments of GCC financial markets and points to regulatory challenges and future developments, ranging from capital market structures to the planned GCC Monetary Union, Islamic banking, and sovereign wealth funds. 304 pages. \u003cb\u003eNational Employment, Migration and Education in the GCC, \u003ci\u003eedited by Steffen Hertog (London School of Economics)\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e This volume provides a cross-cutting analysis of the policy challenges related to GCC labor markets. It analyzes the different dimensions of segmentation of these markets, factors of change influencing labor supply such as trends in education and demography, as well as the impact of potential future reforms in areas such as immigration policy, labor sponsorship, taxation and minimum wages. The work therefore provides an overview of what arguably will be the core socio-economic challenge for the GCC in the coming years. 304 pages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gerlach Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47891083821207,"sku":"9783940924001","price":53996.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783940924001.webp?v=1781182314","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-gulf-region-economic-development-and-diversification-9783940924001","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
