The Gulf Cooperation Council represents both a model of development
and unity in the Arab world and a working example of interstate
cooperation to other nations. In this volume, contributors describe
the rationale for Gulf unity and cooperation and analyze the
financial, economic, and legal institutions of the GCC member
states (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman,
Bahrain, and Qatar). They focus on the GCC's role in maintaining
stability in the Arabian peninsula, an area that is clearly vital
to U.S. interests. Contributors pinpoint the essential elements of
GCC unity, including its efforts to obtain optimum economic
self-sufficiency, to maximize market share and revenue from oil
production, and to establish an integrated legal framework. The
GCC's unique security needs, given the member states' vast combined
area and thinly spread populations, are also discussed. An overview
of the strategic interests and policies of both superpowers toward
the region reveals a history of decline in their influence and
prestige that is a result, it is argued, of misperceptions and
misguided policies. Finally, documentation and bibliographic
sections enhance the book's usefulness as a handbook on the GCC and
the Arabian Gulf states.
