      abstract = {This volume explores the challenges to diversification in  Gulf countries, which can no longer rely on profits from  hydrocarbons to fund national expenditures. It elaborates  on the problem of weak institutions, lack of coordination  between policy makers and executors, limited investment in  research and development, and a workforce that is too  poorly skilled to compete in the private sector. In  addition to analyzing issues in areas such as education,  labor, business, and trade, the contributors underscore the  importance of using global best practices to overcome  fundamental weaknesses in the Gulf Cooperative Council's  economic structure that limit opportunities for economic  diversification. This is the second volume in Economic  Diversification in the Gulf Region.--},
