Description

Economic Development in the Middle East by Rodney Wilson provides a comprehensive analysis of how global economic change is influencing development in the region. This comparative textbook examines the strengths and successes of countries such as Turkey, Israel, and those in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), highlighting their approaches to development and the role of banks and capital markets. The book explores the impact of demographic changes, including declining birth rates, on future employment prospects, as well as the decoupling of oil and gas production from economic growth. It also assesses the contribution of Islamic financial institutions to regional development, particularly in the GCC countries. The evidence suggests that transparent and accountable financial management, along with improvements in economic governance, are key factors driving economic development in the Middle East. This fully updated textbook is a valuable resource for students and academics interested in economic development and the political economy of the region.
