Utilizing an empirical and comparative method, this research paper analyses the previous record and future patterns of economic diversification efforts in the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Applying the methodology of material analysis, possible future diversification patterns are studied from current advancement strategies and national visions published by the GCC governments.
Current advancement plans point unanimously to diversity as the means to secure the stability and the sustainability of earnings levels in the future.
