HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE GULF STATES: BUILDING ECONOMIES, POLITICS,
AND CULTURE
Christopher M. Davidson and Peter Mackenzie-Smith (editors)
Published November 2008 (London: Saqi Press, 2008)
Nowhere in the world is university education expanding as rapidly as in the six-member states of
the Gulf Cooperation Council. In two generations the region has gone from having the Middle
East's least educated population to boasting a younger generation whose educational
achievements are approaching Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD) standards. This unique study, with contributions by key decision makers, charts this
dramatic development, exploring the challenges faced and placing the accomplishments within
the social, economic and political context of the region.
