Abstract
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) that comprises the states of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed substantial development and institutional and organizational shifts over the past 40 years. Before the discovery of oil, fishing and pearl were the main natural resources and industries in the GCC region, which then had one of the lowest GDP growth rates in the Middle East.
