This book delves into the economic development of the six Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Since the 1960s, the GCC
states have harnessed their potential to exploit the wealth accrued
from the oil boom to build their infrastructure and grow their
economies. However, the high level of dependency on oil as the
primary source feeding their output made their economies volatile
and vulnerable to fluctuations in the global oil prices. Moreover,
the plunge in oil prices and the threat of depletion of this
natural resource pose serious challenges to the GCC countries.
Consequently, the GCC governments have realized the importance of
diversifying their economies following the need to move away from
reliance on hydrocarbon. This book contributes to the theoretical
literature by enriching the debate on the transition of the GCC
countries from rentier states to diversified economies. It helps
students and scholars understand this transformation with an
expansive comprehension of the contemporary challenges facing the
region, as well as outlining prospects for the future.
