Using an empirical and comparative method, this term paper analyses the previous record and future trends of economic diversification efforts in the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Using the approach of material analysis, possible future diversity patterns are studied from present advancement plans and national visions released by the GCC federal governments.
Existing advancement strategies point all to diversification as the means to secure the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future. Even though the states continue to lead the economies, diversity requires a reinvigoration of the personal sector and as such necessitates the execution of wider reforms. The paper, however, concerns the likelihood of diversity plans being translated into action.
The policy reaction to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising shows that these regimes quickly give up their well-argued and organized policies when under pressure and fall back on established ways of doing business, specifically through patronage and the predominant function of the public sector. The possibility of diversifying economies through politically hard economic reforms has suffered a significant obstacle.
