This book is a study of a shift in the politics and finance of
development from one centered in the institutions and ideas of the
post-World War II global political economy to the emergence of
South-South economic ties and the rise of authoritarian or state
capitalism as an alternative model of development. This is a study
of the economic statecraft of the Gulf Arab states, specifically
the deployment of aid, investment, and direct support from some of
the wealthiest petrostates of the world to their surrounding sphere
of influence within the Middle East, Horn of Africa, and West Asia.
These new models of development finance, aid, and intervention
include distinct institutional designs and ideological bases. For
the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, the preference
for state-led and often state-owned development is a strategic
priority in the energy sector, a mechanism for domestic economic
growth and consolidation of wealth among leadership and ruling
families. Exporting that agenda as a foreign economic policy tool
continues all of the domestic benefits, while also affirming
broader regional political goals.
