Abstract:

The evolution of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) has been one of slow progression and resistance to identity unification. Although historical legacies and common threats have brought the GCC countries together, yet the GCC faces some challenges in its aim of unification. This paper seeks to answer the following question: What are the structural and political challenges that impede the process of forming a unified regional Gulf identity (RGI)? The paper will tackle the historical aspect of the GCC and the challenges that faces the establishment of an RGI.

Abstract:

Development plans across the Gulf Cooperation Council emphasise logistical infrastructure as a driver of economic diversification. Investments in maritime ports, roads, rail, airports and logistics cities are transforming the economic geography of the region. This study aims to make visible this neglected aspect of the physical transformation of the Gulf Cooperation Council with a focus on the understudied maritime container ports in Oman and Qatar. Shifting the analysis to emergent maritime logistical infrastructure at a regional level gives insight into the uneven developments within the Gulf Cooperation Council’s integration project. Three key features emerge: (a) a large degree of duplication in maritime port infrastructure across Gulf Cooperation Council states; (b) a regional hierarchy among Gulf Cooperation Council states that are resource rich and those dependent on public–private partnerships and (c) increasing competition among internationally dominant port operators looking to gain access to the Gulf Cooperation Council maritime port market. These features both reflect and reinforce competitive tensions within the regional integration project.

Abstract:

The study aimed to research the Jordanian foreign policy towards the Gulf Cooperation Council states during the period 1999-2019, as this period is an extension of the previous stages, as during which Jordanian relations with the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council were affected as a result of the second Gulf crisis 1990, and the events of September 2001, and what followed in light of the war on Iraq and its occupation by the United States of America, where the United States emerged as a unipolar force that dominates the world.The study showed that Jordanian foreign policy towards the Gulf Cooperation Council countries was affected by regional and international changes, as relations between Jordan and the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council were characterized by apathy and approached isolation as a result of Iraq’s occupation of Kuwait, but Jordanian relations with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries improved, as a result of The multiple visits made by King Abdullah II after he assumed power in 1999, to the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, as Jordan's geopolitical position contributes to enhancing security and stability for the countries of the Council in exchange for Israeli expansionist ambitions, because Jordan looks at its security cooperation with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in the framework of the imperatives of mutual security, which posed this perspective as one of the dimensions in the Gulf of Jordan's foreign policy, which has not changed even in periods of Arab division, or during the boycott Cooperation Council (GCC) to Jordan.

Abstract:

This study investigates the factors that influenced the economic growth of the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members from 1990 to 2021. The study employed statistical methods such as ordinary least squares (OLS), fixed-effects model (FEM), and generalized method of moments (GMM) regressions to arrive at its findings. The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) databases provided the data for this paper. The six Gulf Cooperation Council members are the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the State of Qatar, the Sultanate of Oman, the State of Kuwait, and the Kingdom of Bahrain. In fact, the economies of Gulf Cooperation Council members (countries) are highly dependent on the oil sector. Therefore, one of the main positive indicators of gross domestic product in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries is oil prices. In addition, inflation plays a significant and positive role in supporting the gross domestic product in the Gulf Cooperation Council area. In contrast, unemployment rates and the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the gross domestic product in the Gulf Cooperation Council region significantly and negatively. The implications of this study help policymakers make the right decisions and implement policies to increase economic growth in Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Furthermore, this study supports economists and academics in conducting their research in the same field.

Abstract:

Online Financial Disclosure (OFD) is considered as one of the many outputs of advanced technology. The application of Online Financial Disclosure in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries differs from one company to the other due to its voluntary nature and the lack of appropriate regulations. Therefore, this study aims to measure the level of Online Financial Disclosure in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries. Extensive literature review was carried out and a checklist of 90 items (71 for content and 19 for presentation) was developed to measure the level of Online Financial Disclosure for the companies that are listed in the Gulf Cooperation Council Bourses. The findings show that the overall level of Online Financial Disclosure in the Gulf Cooperation Council is 77% but it is varies across the sampled firms according to countries and industry type. The study recommends that regulatory bodies should develop a guideline for disclosing information through the internet in order to enhance the corporate transparency level among the Gulf Cooperation Council listed companies

Abstract:

Nowadays, financial interconnectedness is the main driver of systemic risk. Thus, there is a constant need for tools to assess and manage systemic risk. This paper offers an alternative model framework to measure systemic risk and examine interconnectedness between direct exposures across banking systems in the emerging markets of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). To ensure consistency and efficiency of systemic risk estimates and to capture its multifaceted nature, the methodology measures systemic risk using a combination of Filtered Historical Simulation and nonparametric regression and then examines the interconnectedness using a network analysis. The results reveal that shocks originating in the banking systems in Saudi Arabia may potentially cause a cascade of failures in the banking systems of most GCC countries. The banking system in Oman, however, is robust enough to withstand any ripple effect from adverse shocks affecting GCC’s major banking systems. Such results present some policy implications for regulators and supervisors and may benefit asset managers and investors in making portfolio allocation decisions.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the efficiency level of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) banks on technical efficiency (TE), pure technical efficiency (PTE) and scale efficiency (SE). Both PTE and SE represent the potential factors that influence the efficiency of the GCC banks. In total, 43 GCC banks were observed in this study over the period from 2007 until 2011. Design/methodology/approach – The Data Envelopment Analysis, a non-parametric method using variable returns to scale under Banker, Charnes and Cooper model, was used with assets and deposit (as input) and loan and income (as output). Findings – On average, the results show that many GCC banks are operating within an optimal scale of efficiency. Nevertheless, the results also show managerial inefficiency in the use of resources. Furthermore, the results indicate that, while the larger banks (the 22 largest) tend to operate at constant returns to scale (CRS) or decreasing returns to scale, the smaller banks (the 21 smallest) are susceptible to operate at either CRS or increasing returns to scale. Research limitations/implications – Because of the chosen research method, the results may lack generalisation. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to test the propositions further. An additional implication of the results is that it was able to identify some banks that may become potential targets for outside acquisition. Practical implications – The findings should be useful to banks in the GCC in increasing their efficiencies and recognizing those with a potential for outside acquisition. Originality/value – The findings are valuable because they will facilitate the maintenance of efficient banks in the GCC. This is necessary to enable the countries to maintain a healthy and sustainable economy.

Abstract:

Based on the signaling theory, managers disclose the firm's high performance to maintain their positions and receive rewards. On the other hand, users of financial information prefer the transparency of information rather than the quantity of disclosed information. Online financial disclosure as an output of advanced technology provides useful, timely and verifiable information for decision making. Nevertheless, the level of IFR by the Gulf Cooperation Council companies varies due to the lack of appropriate regulations. Therefore, this study investigates the association between online financial disclosure and performance in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries. Extensive literature review was carried out and a checklist of 90 items (71 for content and 19 for presentation) was developed to measure the level of online financial disclosure for the companies that are listed in Gulf Cooperation Council bourses. The findings show that the overall online financial disclosure in Gulf Cooperation Council is 77% Nevertheless; the results indicate a positive association between OFD and performance. Accordingly, the study recommends that regulatory bodies should develop a guideline of disclosing information through the internet in order to enhance the corporate transparency and performance among the Gulf Cooperation Council listed companies leading to reasonable economic decision making. Keywords: Online Financial Disclosure; Performance; Voluntary Disclosure; GCC Countries.

Abstract:

The Arabian Gulf region is considered the first settlement center for the Arabian Gulf community, in terms of the natural extension of the population and their descent from closely related tribes, and similar in characteristics, customs, traditions and tribal customs. After disagreement, rivalry, division and competition over pastures and trade or wars broke out between them, these societies began looking for places to distance themselves from. The Utub tribes descended from the Arabian Peninsula and dispersed on the coast of the Arabian Gulf, in search of trade, fishing, and the search for pearls in the depths of the sea. After the discovery of oil, the Arabian Gulf region became an attractive environment for labor, and was the focus of attention of Arab and Asian countries. And the foreign ones, and the original community mixed with the expatriates and formed a large percentage of the population and took privileges and rights. The system of naturalization and affiliation differs from one country to another in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. It may be easy to obtain Saudi citizenship and difficult to obtain Kuwaiti citizenship. During this, we will present the research by reading each Arab Gulf societies.

Abstract:

This study aims to examine the connection between cash level and corporate performance, as well as the cash level determinants for all nonfinancial firms in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The empirical analysis employs numerous statistical techniques such as panel regression models and the Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM). The main result of the study confirms a positive relationship between the cash level and both the corporate performance and the firm value, which signifies the role of cash in supporting the corporate productive activities in times of rare cash. The results also show that large firms, especially those with less leverage, experience better corporate performance. Additionally, the results demonstrate that when using different levels of cash holdings as well as different levels of firm size, both the magnitude and the significant positive effect of the cash level on corporate performance and firm value are not altered. For the determinants of the cash level, the results confirm that the most important variables are product competition, free cash flow, corporate liquidity, capital expenditures, and financial constraints. The results do not confirm that the amount of dividend paid has a significant influence on the cash level. All results are robust to the various econometric specifications employed in this study.

Abstract:

The wave of protests that rocked the Arab countries since February 2011 has not spared the relatively prosperous region of the Persian Gulf.The gradually growing tension between the countries of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf led to a conflict between these states, and subsequently to a diplomatic crisis, which also affected neighboring countries that are not part of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf. During the conflict in the Persian Gulf, also referred to as the "Qatar Crisis of 2017," a number of Arab countries boycotted and adopted sanctions against Qatar.

Abstract:

The digital revolution led to, among other things, the emergence of electronic environments, or e-environments. They have also substantially altered the manner in which individuals and institutions interact, deliver services, and accomplish daily activities effectively. This, in turn, resulted in an increase in the amount of research and literature on e-environments, albeit unevenly. However, a systematic analysis of this body of literature in the context of non-western countries is lacking. The purpose of this study was to address this gap with respect to the Gulf Cooperation Council States. Data retrieved from citation and publishers’ databases and content analysis produced reliable results that are encouraging for some, though not all, countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council when it comes to the level of e-environment research, range of topics addressed, use of appropriate and robust research methods, and whether the research was informed by theory. Specific recommendations for future research are also suggested.

Abstract:

Qatar presents an impressive case by demonstrating its role as a small country with a major role in international relations theories and practices. This paper examines Qatar's role as a small state, in particular its quest for a high security position in international relations. It also illustrates the security role of the State of Qatar in the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, especially after the emergence of a conflict between Qatar and the rest of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, especially (Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Bahrain...) in 2017.In the international relations literature, small states rarely feature prominently in diplomatic relations due to their alleged lack of global power and importance. But Qatar, by virtue of its strategic geographical location and its great economic power that depends on oil and natural gas, has been able to play a prominent role in regional security and stability, and has made its region in the calculations of the major countries. This paper also argues that the Qatari leadership's refusal to remain in the shadows of its allies or rivals within the Gulf Cooperation Council has given it a single and influential position in foreign policy within the Middle East and beyond. Finally, this paper analyzes the important role that Qatar plays in terms of security and destabilization in the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze crowdfunding’s economic success in the Gulf region as the Crowdfunding (CF) experience and practice in this part of the world tend to be unexplored in terms of research. In particular, the study examines whether the adoption of entrepreneurial finance (EF) principles in crowdfunding platforms affects the economic success of funding and entrepreneurs’ ability in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to access financial resources. The study uses an online questionnaire survey on Crowdfunding economic success in the GCC to collect information from the participants. Participants are investors, entrepreneurs, and startups from five Gulf countries (i.e., Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman and UAE) in addition to several Crowdfunding platforms commonly used by crowdfunders in this region (such as Indiegogo, Kickstarter, Eureeca, Beehive and GoFundMe) with total members (102964). Signaling theory and principle-agent theory combine to make a theoretical foundation that explains the relationship between funders and fundraisers. The pilot sample consisting of 10 units was used to validate and verify the research instrument of the study. The research sample consists of 1145 respondents (sample size n = 1145) selected randomly from the five Gulf countries included in the study. The findings reveal that CF’s presence positively impacts economic fundraising success and that crowdfunding platforms are an effective financial technology (Fintech) tool for financing entrepreneurs in the GCC. We conclude with recommendations for future EF and CF research. The findings of this study will have implications for improvements in practices of economic and finance. They may be used as a guide towards advancing the management and performance of the crowdfunding platforms in the Gulf region. Presently, a very few number of published research on crowdfunding exist in this region. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, there is no single study investigating crowdfunding as an alternative financing source in the GCC.

Abstract:

The article is an attempt to analyze foreign policy, security and economic preconditions of creation of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf and basic beginnings of its historicaldevelopment. Its appearance became the result of internal, regional and international processes during 70-80 years of the XX century which not only created necessary objective conditions ofappearance of the above-mentioned integration organization in the Arabian peninsula but also defined its main particularities, resistance ability and vulnerable points. The 1979 Iran Islamic revolution,signing of the Camp David Accords, the beginning of the Iran-Iraq war, the USSR aggression in Afghanistan played a decisive role in the appearance of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The article researched the results and particularities of four periods in the development of the above-mentioned integration organization. The article pays special role to understanding of basic objective and subjective factors of the contemporary Qatar crisis and ways of its solving. The article also found out that the main reason that lead to the Qatar crisis was sharpening of serious acute competition between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the context of the Middle East region. The conclusion is made that the last 38-th summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council “freezed” for some time contemporary state of relations with Qatar, outlined principle directions of deepening of integration processes inside the Gulf Cooperation Council as well as strengthened the role of its nucleus – union of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the role played by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in mediating disputes since its creation in 1981 to 2011, the year of the outbreak of the ‘Arab Spring’. It analyzes the contributions of the GCC as a conflict mediator by cross-checking this sub-regional group's institutional structure and policy approach, and presents two major findings. Firstly, the GCC was hardly designed as a conflict mediator, given that the Gulf Arab states created it as a vehicle to respond to intra-Gulf and external security threats and challenges. Secondly, in order to promote its foreign policy independence and boost its regional and global diplomatic profile to ensure its security and survival in the dangerous environment of the Gulf region, it is Qatar that has extensively attempted to mediate conflicts in Lebanon, Yemen and Sudan, with varying degrees of success, under the banners of the GCC and the Arab League. Finally, the paper presents a series of policy recommendations, based on critical insights from Qatari mediation experiences, to enable the GCC to be a proactive dispute mediator.

Abstract:

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in Gulf countries. Although breast cancer incidence rates in the Gulf are substantially lower than rates in developed countries, yet an increasing trend is evident. Most breast cancers are diagnosed at an advanced stage, only 23.3% of patients presented with localized tumors and less than 2% with in situ, making improvements to early detection of breast cancer a priority. There has been good progress and investment in early detection of breast cancer program in Gulf countries based on augmenting breast cancer awareness through public education, investing in mammographic based screening and improving infrastructure. Nevertheless, development of breast cancer early detection programs in most of the Gulf countries has been based on sporadic investments and actions rather than on a planned, approved and resource-linked national control plan. In many instances the scientific evidence-base for such investments has not been obtained and the evaluation of implemented programs is lacking. Aim: To review breast cancer screening, early detection practices in Gulf region, outlines enablers and identifies priorities for scaling up early detection programs in Gulf countries. Methods: The study relies heavily on review of published literature and data gathered through interview and discussion with key informants from government and nongovernment institutions at the studied countries. Results: Four case studies will be discussed from Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Conclusion: Breast cancer is a major and increasing problem in Gulf countries, but it is still largely diagnosed at an advanced stage. While mammography based screening programs have been initiated in Gulf countries, however they generally have limited uptake, with very little evidence to support their effectiveness, largely because their attempts at education on the curability of breast cancer, and their endeavors to dispel the prevalent myths on breast cancer, have not been sufficiently successful. Thus, it is essential that the highest priority in each country should be improving awareness, early diagnosis of breast cancer, by public and professional education. This will require considerable investment in training primary care professionals, organizing referral mechanisms and setting up multidisciplinary breast cancer diagnosis and treatment facilities across the countries. While population-level screening for breast cancer is feasible in Gulf countries, yet careful consideration for available resources is critical for success. Moreover, it is important to pilot any screening programs prior to national roll-out.

Abstract:

In Asia, SAARC (South Asian Association of Regional Cooperation), ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) and GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) are being considered as an active regional trading blocs although East Asian integration is on primary cooperation stage and BIMSTEC is treated as organised sub-regional trading bloc. The GCC has completed all criterion of economic integration except introduction of a single currency and ASEAN is advancing its optimum stage of monetary integration but the advancement of SAARC is halted by the shock of non-cooperation from Pakistan. Therefore, contribution of GCC in integrating Asian bloc is to scrutinise in a new outlook. In this paper, the author endeavours to show the impact of economic integration of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on the Asian economic integration in the sense that the process of integration of GCC with SAARC and ASEAN can accelerate the criterion of Asian integration process. Therefore, the author used cointegration and vector error correction model among the indicators of trade integration of exports such as Asian export share, intra export share of GCC, export concentration index of GCC, ASEAN’s export with GCC and SAARC’s export with GCC during 1995-2019. Similarly, the author applied same methodology among the trade indicator of imports such as Asian import share, intra import share of GCC, import concentration index of GCC, ASEAN’s import with GCC and SAARC’s import with GCC during the specified period. The findings revealed that Asian export share has long run significant causalities with SAARC and ASEAN export shares to GCC. Intra export share of GCC has long run causalities with SAARC and ASEAN export shares to GCC. The export concentration index of GCC has significant long run causalities with SAARC and ASEAN export shares to GCC respectively. Even, the short run causalities from export concentration index of GCC to intra export share of GCC, export share of ASEAN and SAARC with GCC and the short run causality from ASEAN export share with GCC to export share of Asia and from intra export share of GCC to export share of ASEAN with GCC were strictly observed. Again, the import share of Asia has long run causalities with the import shares of ASEAN and SAARC with GCC. The intra import share of GCC has long run causalities with the import shares of ASEAN and SAARC with GCC and the import concentration index of GCC has long run causalities with the import shares of ASEAN and SAARC with GCC respectively. The intra import share of GCC has short run causalities with import share of Asia, import concentration index of GCC and import share of ASEAN with GCC respectively. The import concentration index has short run causality with the import share of Asia. The import share of SAARC with GCC has short run causality with import share of ASEAN with GCC. The cointegration and vector error correction among Asian GDP, sum of intra export and import shares of GCC, sum of export and import shares of ASEAN with GCC, and sum of export and import shares of SAARC with GCC during 1995-2019 indicated that the GDP of Asia has long run causalities with the sum of intra export and import shares of GCC, the sum of export and import shares of ASEAN with GCC and the sum of export and import shares of SAARC with GCC and even they have short run causalities also. All these observations can justify that GCC has great impact on Asian economic integration process associated with SAARC and ASEAN.

Abstract:

The main reason of this study is to determine the main inflation determinants in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries over the period 1996-2016. The GCC area is exposing many economic challenges and risks like higher prices of basic products and services. Moreover, GCC countries impose value added tax in 2018 that increased the prices significantly. To reduce the prices rates, GCC governments decided to support the local manufacturing rather than depending on imports. However, controlling the inflation rates is showing the efficiency of economic administration for any country. In this study, the data was gathered through the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank (WB) databases. Statistically, the data were analysed by generalized method of moments (GMM) and generalized least square (GLS). The main results of this study show that the foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of main determinants that has an inverse and significant influence on inflation. Moreover, the corruption impacted the inflation positively and significantly. Finally, the oil prices are controlling the inflation as higher oil prices increase the inflation rates significantly.
