GILBAR, GAD G. - The Middle East Oil Decade and Beyond

London & Portland, Oregon: Frank Cass, 1997. First Edition. Original boards. ISBN: 0714647349. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners and dustjacket; "The Middle East Oil Decade and Beyond" by Gad G. Gilbar offers a comprehensive analysis of the pivotal role oil has played in shaping the economic, political, and social landscapes of the Middle East from the 1970s onwards. Gilbar meticulously examines how the oil wealth transformed the region, particularly focusing on its impact on economic development, urbanization, and shifts in social structures. The book details the boom periods of high oil prices and the challenges faced during market downturns, exploring how different countries in the region responded to these cycles. Gilbar also delves into the broader geopolitical implications, including how oil revenue has influenced Middle Eastern countries' foreign policies and their interactions with global powers. Furthermore, he considers the future of the region in the context of fluctuating oil markets, emerging renewable energy technologies, and global climate change initiatives. By providing a detailed historical account alongside an analysis of future trends, Gilbar's work serves as a crucial resource for understanding the complex dynamics between oil and the developmental trajectories of Middle Eastern countries. ; Octavo; xvi, 123 pages.
