The Gulf Cooperation Council and the Political Economy of the Contemporary Middle East
In Money, Markets, and Monarchies (Cambridge
University Press, 2018), Adam Hanieh examines
how the six states of the Gulf Cooperation Council
are powerfully shaping the political economy of the
wider Middle East. Through unprecedented and
fine-grained empirical research – encompassing
sectors such as agribusiness, real estate, finance,
retail, telecommunications, and urban utilities – he
lays out the pivotal role of the Gulf in the affairs of
other Arab states, and asks what this might mean
for the future of the region. This vital feature of the
Middle East’s political economy is essential to
understanding contemporary regional dynamics,
not least of which is the emergence of significant
internal tensions within the Gulf itself.
