This apt saying encapsulates the dramatic convulsions taking place across the Arab world that first erupted in 2011 in Tunisia and which rapidly spread to other countries. These events have affected the lives of ordinary citizens in many more ways than had been intended when the "Arab Spring" broke out, with the endgame still not very clear as demonstrated in countries like Egypt, Syria and Libya. By comparison, with some exceptions, the six countries comprising the Gulf Cooperation Council have been relatively unaffected by the general turbulence and uncertainties lapping around them. However, geopolitical shifts involving global superpower rivalries, combined with revolutionary breakthroughs in the non-conventional hydrocarbon energy sector are threatening to challenge the importance of the Arabian Gulf as the world's leading suppliers of energy, putting their economies under fiscal stress. 000723070 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 21, 2013). 000723070 61020 $$aGulf Cooperation Council. 000723070 650_0 $$aArab Spring, 2010- 000723070 651_0 $$aArab countries$$xEconomic conditions$$y21st century. 000723070 651_0 $$aArab countries$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 000723070 651_0 $$aArab countries$$xSocial conditions$$y21st century. 000723070 852__ $$bebk 000723070 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-02177-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000723070 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:723070$$pGLOBAL_SET 000723070 980__ $$aEBOOK 000723070 980__ $$aBIB 000723070 982__ $$aEbook 000723070 983__ $$aOnline 000723070 994__ $$a92$$bISE
