Abstract:

Master of Arts<br>Department of Economics<br>Steven P. Cassou<br>In this report, I investigate the possibility of a monetary unification among the Arab States. The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states that include Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Oman are coming together on the basis of common ethnicity, religion, culture, traditions, and monetary issues. This research will discuss different factors upon which the monetary unification and the birth of a new currency depend. For comparison to the Euro, I closely examined different factors such as inflation rates, exchange rates, t

Abstract:

Women’s entrepreneurship is a much touted topic of research with researchers competing to contribute to the growing body of knowledge. Although literature is replete with articles and opinions on the various aspects concerning women’s entrepreneurship, still more needs to be done. Much of the research produced until now has focused on specific contexts like western countries and results obtained are either not conclusive or generalizable and in many cases incomplete. Research on women’s entrepreneurship conducted in the contexts of developing nations appears to be grossly inadequate, bordering

Abstract:

The State of Kuwait is has been a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) since its establishment in 1980. Kuwait is a geographically small but oil-rich country, whose economic development in recent years is the result of an increase in both the production and prices of oil, which now accounts for almost 90% of exports. Meanwhile Kuwait imports almost all its local market needs from abroad. In 2010 the Kuwaiti government passed a development plan which was intended to diversify the Kuwaiti economy and promote non-oil economic sectors. Kuwait has an open economy, and is an ally of its GCC

Trademarks are a valuable asset of a business and play a crucial role with regards to the quality of goods and its reputation, however, the rise in counterfeiting activities is undermining those benefits.

Implementing risk management (RM) effectively in construction projects and organisations has long been recognised as key to ensuring successful project performance.

However, little research has been conducted to systematically investigate the RM implementation in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)’s construction industry. Therefore, this research stu

Abstract:

Upon the British withdrawal in 1971 from the Arabian Gulf region, three powerful states (Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Iran) were left competing among each other to gain influence. Accordingly, that competition transformed the region’s dynamic into something of a RSC (Buzan and Wæver, 2003 p. 187) – to be more precise, the Gulf became a distinct sub-complex of the Great Middle East RSC. After the Gulf War II (1990-1991) and even more so following the U.S invasion of Iraq in 2003, this RSC was defined by the competition between Saudi Arabia and Iran, as each sought to expand their influence over the o

Effective national food control systems are essential to ensure the safety of food and to protect consumers.

During recent years, GCC countries have moved to update and strengthen their systems and infrastructure for food control. Progressive efforts have been made both at national and regional level to strengthen capacity in food safety and quality. Despite the efforts of capacity building performed

Previous research has reported a positive association between corporate disclosure and the efficiency of securities markets (Barrett 1977; Kothari 2001; Gao 2008).

Disclosure has been considered as essential to the economic development and growth of emerging economies by Gill and Tropper (1988).

Abstract:

The Gulf Cooperation Council was established in May 1981 by the heads of state of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. At the time, Western observers declared security to be the prime consideration of its founders, yet security is not mentioned in the Council's foundation charter. This emphasizes the intention to promote "close coordination in all spheres, especially the economic and social" between the member states; throughout the charter the terms "coordination", "integration", " cooperation", "closer relations" and "ties" repeatedly recur. In consequence

Abstract:

The significance of this thesis lies in the fact that it reviews the activities of a newly-born organisation, that has hardly received an authoritative legal analysis. In addition the thesis relies heavily on primary sources in examining the internal structure of the organisation. Looking at the nature of the issues involved, the principal contribution is made by applying the principles of international law to three different areas of law. These are, the law of international institutions, economic integration, inspired and influenced by the literature on the EEC, and the law of the use of forc

Abstract:

The six states, that together comprise the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), plan to adopt a single currency by 2010. If they are able to enact the necessary policy reforms and devolve some national sovereignty to supranational monetary and statistical institutions, capable of conducting a common monetary policy and managing the 'Gulf dinar", it will undoubtedly become the world’s second most significant currency union. It may also be seen as a viable reserve currency, particularly by neighbouring states, and could even be used to invoice oil sales. The aim of this thesis is two-fold Firstly, it
