The sharp increase in oil revenues since 2002 has left the Arab
Gulf States with billions of petro-dollars. But how will these
countries fare in the post-oil era? The rulers of these states are
taking serious measures to ensure the survival of their economies,
and indeed their regimes, in a world with scarce mineral
resources.
This book explores the extent to which these countries have been
and will be able to prepare for the future by transforming
themselves into serious international destinations for tourism,
finance, healthcare, and education. It also considers the
implications of failure for the future survival of their
regimes.
Topics covered include sovereign funds, Islamic finance, new
technologies, higher education, and the role of women.
A timely study into this vibrant and important region, this book
will provide food for thought for academics, policy makers, and
general readers.
