Synopsis

In this volume, the contributors describe the rationale for Gulf unity and cooperation and analyse the financial, economic and legal institutions of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) member states (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain and Qatar). They focus on the GCC’s role in maintaining stability in the Arabian peninsula, an area that is clearly vital to U.S. interests.
