Good Governance in the Middle East Oil Monarchies, Paperback / softback Book

Good Governance in the Middle East Oil Monarchies Paperback / softback

Edited by Martin Hetherington, Tom Pierre Najem

Part of the Durham Modern Middle East and Islamic World Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

The concept of 'good governance' is of increasing importance, and is used by international organizations to ensure reasonable conformity to high standards in states which participate in the global trading regime and other international activities. This book examines the concept of good governance and how it is applied in the states of the Gulf Co-operation Council. These states are particularly important because of their strategic location and massive oil wealth. Moreover, as monarchies, in most cases without powerful democratic representative bodies, and as Islamic countries, with a different outlook from countries of the West, Western standards of good governance may need to be modified in order for them to be implemented effectively.
