Professor Abdulkhaleq Abdulla launches his latest book, The Gulf Moment, which focuses on the emergence of the six Arab Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates as new centres of economic power, activity and creativity in the Arab World. This book aims to define this new ‘Gulf moment’ and to explore the factors behind its occurrence.
