Some Aspects of the Gulf Co-operation Council’s Relationship with LDACs

Abstract: Abstract After explaining the internal structure of the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC), some aspects of the importance of GCC countries to LDACs are examined. Such importance might result from the GCC acting as a model for successful co-operation and as a stabilising and progressive factor for Arab countries; the GCC countries’ important trading links with LDACs; and the GCC countries’ role as important donors of development aid. With respect to these topics the question is put, whether anything substantial can be said about the 1990s. Labour migration and remittances are not examined, since other chapters in this volume focus on these topics. As the title indicates, the focus is more on the GCC than on LDACs.
