The Least Developed and the Oil-rich Arab Countries Dependence, Interdependence, Or Patronage?

Exploring the relations between rich and poor Arab countries, this book presents papers on Arab integration efforts and the impact of oil prices on the South and least developed Arab countries in particular. Contributors also examine the co-operation of Arabs with the basic needs, agricultural policies, intra-Arab migration, differences in ideologies and health systems, Islamic banking, and the unsuitability of IMF policies for the poorer Arab countries.
