Book Synopsis Population and Development of the Arab Gulf States by : Nadeya Sayed Ali Mohammed
Download or read book Population and Development of the Arab Gulf States written by Nadeya Sayed Ali Mohammed and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking study measures and critically examines the effects that an average population growth rate of 2.8% could have on the development of the Arab Gulf States. It questions the ability of Gulf governments to continue providing relatively high standards of education, health and employment under conditions of rapid population growth, an undiversified economic base, and a tribal political framework. Within this context, population growth is identified as one important variable that hinders long-term development. The book will appeal to all those interested in the Middle East, demography, development and sociology.

Book Synopsis Social and Economic Development in the Arab Gulf (RLE Economy of Middle East) by : Tim Niblock
Download or read book Social and Economic Development in the Arab Gulf (RLE Economy of Middle East) written by Tim Niblock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crucial importance of the Gulf region today – which may be defined as comprising the states of Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, with Iran as a non-Arab onlooker – has stimulated surprisingly little interest in academic circles. Much of what has been written, moreover, focuses exclusively on those aspects of direct concern to external interests. The focus of this book is on the Gulf region as an area with its own problems of social, economic and political development. It examines the dimensions of the attempts by the governments and peoples of the area to create new social, economic and political structures – stemming mainly, of course, from their new-found oil wealth. First published in 1980.
Book Synopsis Oil, Industrialization & Development in the Arab Gulf States (RLE Economy of Middle East) by : Atif Kubursi
Download or read book Oil, Industrialization & Development in the Arab Gulf States (RLE Economy of Middle East) written by Atif Kubursi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Were oil supplies everlasting and the demand for oil strong and continuous, economic diversification in the Gulf would be pointless. However oil reserves are finite and non-renewable and the world demand for oil from the Gulf region is simply not stable. Collectively the countries of the Gulf face the striking prospect that unless priorities and plans are set with care the gestation period of their economic development may be longer than the expected life of their hydrocarbon resources. This book examines just that threat. It considers the opportunities available to the Gulf states for accumulating sufficient productive capital in the non-oil sectors of their economy to offset the drawing down of oil reserves. The book pays particular attention to the possibilities of development through cooperation not only within the Gulf Cooperation Council but also within the larger Arab region and the Third World as a whole. It concludes with a critical review of the main challenges that these economies are facing and are likely to face in the near future with special emphasis on their major problems and failures. First published in 1984.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Healthcare in the Arab World by : Ismail Laher
Download or read book Handbook of Healthcare in the Arab World written by Ismail Laher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook examines health and medical care in the Arab world from a systems biology approach. It features comprehensive coverage that includes details of key social, environmental, and cultural determinants. In addition, the contributors also investigate the developed infrastructure that manages and delivers health care and medical solutions throughout the region.More than 25 sections consider all aspects of health, from cancer to hormone replacement therapy, from the use of medications to vitamin deficiency in emergency medical care. Chapters highlight essential areas in the wellbeing and care of this population. These topics include women’s health care, displaced and refugee women’s health needs, childhood health, social and environmental causes of disease, health systems and health management, and a wide range of diseases of various body systems. This resource also explores issues related to access and barriers to health delivery throughout the region.Health in the Arab world is complex and rapidly changing. The health burden in the region is distributed unevenly based on gender, location, as well as other factors. In addition, crises such as armed conflicts and an expanding migrant population place additional stress on systems and providers at all levels. This timely resource will help readers better understand all these major issues and more. It will serve as an ideal guide for researchers in various biological disciplines, public health, and regulatory agencies.
Book Synopsis The Arab Gulf and the Arab World by : B.R. Pridham
Download or read book The Arab Gulf and the Arab World written by B.R. Pridham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1988, compiles selected contributions to a symposium on ‘The Gulf and the Arab World’ held by the Centre for Arab Gulf Studies at Exeter University, UK, in July 1986. The historical perspective was considered to be a prerequisite for focusing on modern developments, and two chapters are devoted to the coming of both the Arabs and Islam to the Gulf, and a further chapter examines the role of the Ottoman Empire in the region. The remaining chapters concentrate on recent interaction under the broad headings of political and socio-political affairs, demographic aspects, financial interchange and questions of security. A large part of the book is devoted to detailed analysis of the main factor in Arab Gulf/Arab world relations: the huge flow, in one direction, of Arab migratory manpower and, in the reverse direction, of Gulf financing and workers’ remittances.
Download or read book The Gulf States written by David Commins and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-30 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The geopolitical importance of the Gulf region is a source both of great interest and great tension. David Commins here provides an in-depth narrative of the modern political history of the Gulf States, offering a comprehensive and accessible account of their recent development and strategic importance. This book sets out a detailed study of the region's history, starting from the empires and dynasties of the pre-modern era. Focusing primarily on economic, cultural, religious and social themes, it works its way forward through the pre-modern patterns of the 14th century to the Muslim empires that dominated in the 16th to early 18th centuries, and from the era of British supremacy to the formation of modern states, Arab nationalism and revolution. The motifs of geography, hierarchy and values are interwoven throughout the book as it examines important topics, including the influence of the Ottoman Empire, the rise of Arab dynasties, oil wealth and modern prosperity, and the formation of the Gulf States as we know them today. Commins goes on to examine recent American involvement in the region, taking examples of American intervention and influence from Kuwait and Iraq, to Iran, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. Considering America's increasing hegemony since the 1970s, the book compares the American role in the region to that of the earlier British supremacy - crucially linking the financial burdens of American actions to the US future as regional hegemon. With the importance and impact of the Gulf States continuing to increase, and their futures the subject of much international speculation, this book is an invaluable source of information on the Gulf region's development, essential for students and researchers alike.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Oil Revenues on Arab Gulf Development by : M.S. El Azhary
Download or read book The Impact of Oil Revenues on Arab Gulf Development written by M.S. El Azhary and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the price of oil fell in the eighties the pressures on the Arab Gulf States to speed up the diversification of their economies into non-oil sectors increased. This book, first published in 1984, examines this problem and many other issues connected with the impact of oil revenues on development in the Gulf States. It considers changing oil production policies and developments in other sectors of the economy including agriculture, industry and banking. It explores population problems, moves towards Gulf economic coordination and the impact of oil on society, culture and education. This book provides an assessment of just how much the region depends on oil for its economic prosperity and development and some indication of the enormous problems that would face the region should the demand for oil decease still further.

Book Synopsis Social and Economic Development in the Contemporary Arab Gulf States by : Martin Hvidt
Download or read book Social and Economic Development in the Contemporary Arab Gulf States written by Martin Hvidt and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arab Gulf states (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and UAE) have over the past decades moved from near obscurity to prominence among actors in the global economy. This "rise of the Gulf" was facilitated by plentiful income from oil and gas, and by the gradual process by which the economic centre of the world is shifting eastward. But first and foremost it has been a result of conscious policies conceived and implemented by the Gulf states to catch up with the developed world and not least to place their countries on a developmental trajectory which will secure the populations a sustainable livelihood in the future. This book recognizes the significant developmental results achieved in the Gulf states over the past half of a century, but also focuses on the detrimental and disrupting effects created by the economic "anomaly" of sudden and massive influx of oil revenues, such as: the growth of rentier mentality, the crowding out of productive activities, and the resulting lack of economic diversification. The oil-based development model worked well when the populations were small and the income from oil was plentiful. With rapidly increasing populations and rising popular demands on the governments, this model can no longer adequately support these societies. The book investigates various elements of how the governments in the Gulf region tackle the difficult and often painful transition toward an ordinary type of economy, where wealth in society is created by the skills and hard work of its population. Issues such as economic diversification, societal planning, institutional change, social reforms, educational achievements, demographic growth, job creation, and the significant reliance on migrant labour are investigated.

This book was released on 2000-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major source for the profound socioeconomic and political changes in the Persian/Arabian Gulf countries during the second half of the 20th century is oil. This volume details the demographic developments in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries, which achieved the highest population growth rates in the Middle East from the oil boom of October 1973 onwards. Issues addressed include: the demographic characteristics of the indigenous GCC populations (natural increase rates, age structure, and more); the causes and consequences of the rapid increase of foreign workers in these countries, which from the mid-1980s onwards constituted the majority of the GCC labour force; and demographic policies toward both the local and the foreign populations.
