This is a book about public governance in the Gulf States. It presents research findings from interviews and a comparative analysis of the trends and developments of the six Gulf States. The analysis explores the extent to which the Gulf States are following their own path to modernisation.
"This book fills a gap in comparative information on public governance by providing evidence of what is happening in the Gulf States." –Richard Boyle, Institute of Public Administration, University College Dublin, Ireland
