research
The Kuwait Research Programme was established to examine
the changing nature and dynamics of the Gulf States,
with the aim of exploring internal and external
processes which impinge upon them.
It will explore such topics as globalisation, economic
development, diversification of and challenges facing
resource rich economies, trade relations between the
Gulf States and major trading partners, energy trading,
security and migration.
To this end the Programme has begun by commissioning a
series of research papers (see below) which will examine
the many processes and forces acting within and across
the Gulf States. Further research papers will be
announced in the near future.
