This is the first book-length empirical study of free zones (FZs)
in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The volume
systematically illustrates the development processes behind FZs in
Gulf Arab states and assesses the impact of these commercial
entities on regional integration, global trade and investment
trends, and the Gulf's foreign relations. In the process, the work
maps how economic strategies involving FZs evolve alongside varying
levels of resource availability and state capacity on a local level
while also revealing how development paths in Gulf Arab states are
linked to regional and global accumulation circuits. FZ development
is an under-examined topic in the wider literature on the Gulf. The
empirical findings and theoretical implications of the work
therefore offer an original contribution to prevailing political
economy discussions concerning the Gulf region.
