The Gulf Cooperation Council Project

In this book, the economist Kambiz Zare throws new light on one of the most
discussed international economic integration projects of our time - that of
the Gulf Cooperation Council. To explain why its success has been uneven, the
author examines the feasibility of the GCC project from today's perspective,
contrasting the evolving economic and financial circumstances in the six
countries with the conditions that are necessary for regional integration to
be achieved. By focusing on the GCC's first 35 years, from 1981 to 2016, the
book offers a firm groundwork for understanding the ongoing dynamics of the
GCC region.
