Using an empirical and relative method, this research paper analyses the past record and future trends of economic diversity efforts in the 6 Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations. Applying the methodology of material analysis, possible future diversification trends are studied from present advancement plans and national visions released by the GCC governments.
Existing advancement plans point unanimously to diversification as the methods to secure the stability and the sustainability of income levels in the future. Despite the fact that the states continue to lead the economies, diversification entails a reinvigoration of the economic sector and as such requires the application of broader reforms. The paper, however, questions the probability of diversification plans being translated into action.
The policy action to pre-empt the Arab Spring uprising shows that these regimes easily provide up their well-argued and organized policies when under pressure and fall back on established ways of doing business, particularly through patronage and the primary function of the public sector. Thus, the prospect of diversifying economies through politically challenging economic reforms has suffered a significant setback.
