All of the GCC countries-Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi
Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates-are undergoing historic
socio-economic transitions. They are facing enormous strains on
public finances and challenging economic outlooks, due to
fluctuating oil prices, demographic pressures, high unemployment
rates, and a lack of economic diversification. These countries also
are likely to feel the rising impact of climate change, and global
policies to deal with it, over the coming decades. In addition,
seemingly unstoppable shifts in the long-standing international
order, notably the rise of China and uncertainties about U.S.
leadership, have potentially serious implications for the Middle
East and beyond. This policy-oriented book of essays by noted
scholars and experts considers the key trends shaping Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, ranging from the COVID-19
pandemic, to climate change, economic disruptions, demographics and
other domestic concerns, and shifts in the global order. The book's
chapters address such questions as: How will global megatrends
impact the GCC? How can GCC states adjust and diversify their
economies to meet the dual challenges of fluctuating oil prices and
climate change? How can these states adjust their labor markets to
absorb and support women and youth? How will inter GCC
disagreements impact the region moving forward? And how will GCC
relations with international actors shift in the coming years? This
timely book, with its comprehensive analyses and policy
recommendations, will be of interest to a wide range of readers
interested in the GCC region, including policymakers, academics,
and researchers at think tanks and nongovernmental organizations.
