It elaborates on the problem of weak institutions, lack of coordination between policy makers and executors, limited investment in research and development, and a workforce that is too poorly skilled to compete in the private sector. In addition to analyzing issues in areas such as education, labor, business, and trade, the contributors underscore the importance of using global best practices to overcome fundamental weaknesses in the Gulf Cooperative Council's economic structure that limit opportunities for economic diversification. This is the second volume in Economic Diversification in the Gulf Region. 410 0$aThe Political Economy of the Middle East,$x2522-8862 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions 606 $aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aRegionalism 606 $aInternational Political Economy' 606 $aMiddle Eastern/North African Economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics 606 $aRegionalism 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 0$aMiddle East$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aAfrica, North$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aRegionalism. 615 14$aInternational Political Economy'. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern/North African Economics. 615 24$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aRegionalism. 676 $a338.956 702 $aMishrif$b Ashraf$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aAl Balushi$b Yousuf$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300512003321 996 $aEconomic Diversification in the Gulf Region, Volume II$92033389 997 $aUNINA
