波斯湾正在迅速发生变化。尽管一些国家利用了全球化财政交易的快节奏性质，成为外国投资的重要市场，但其他国家则成为此类投机的牺牲品。随着海湾合作委员会国家继续寻求组织经济和在全球秩序中竞争的最佳方式，经济多样化的“迪拜模式”正在重新评估。本书解释了全球化力量塑造波斯湾国家政治经济新维度的不同方式，评估了已经发生的变化，特别是在当前全球经济危机的背景下。互利的食利者安排在过去指导了海湾合作委员会国家以石油为基础的经济和劳动关系的形成，但将来一定会是这样吗？这本书涉及的关键问题，包括对海湾合作委员会未来人口方面的讨论;建立海湾合作委员会货币联盟的可行性;国家自治的食利主义的影响;和主权财富基金和伊斯兰银行模式的分析。
Change occurs rapidly in the Persian Gulf. While some states have capitalised on the fast-paced nature of globalised fiscal transactions and have become important markets for foreign investment, others have fallen victim to such speculations. The 'Dubai Model' of economic diversification is being re-evaluated as the GCC states continue to seek the best means of organizing their economies and competing within the global order. Explaining the different ways in which globalising forces have shaped new dimensions to the political economy of the Persian Gulf states, this book evaluates the changes that have occurred, especially in light of the ongoing global economic crisis. Mutually beneficial rentier arrangements have guided the GCC countries formation of oil-based economies and labor relations in the past, but will this necessarily be the case in the future? This book addresses key issues including discussion on the future demographic aspects of the GCC; the feasibility of establishing a GCC monetary union; the effects of rentierism on state autonomy; and analysis of sovereign wealth funds and Islamic banking models.
