Abstract

When many observers talk of the Middle East in terms of the world business map, they usually are referring to the Gulf and the states that comprise the Gulf Cooperation Council. These six countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)) share the waters of the Persian Gulf (more commonly referred to in the area as the Arabian Gulf), an area of economic and political interest. They range in geographical size from the largest, Saudi Arabia with a landmass over four times that of France, to Bahrain, which is the smallest. They also vary in the nature of their political frameworks, population and economies. However, one strong factor that they have in common that shapes behaviour is the dominant religion of the Gulf, that being Islam. The religion has a strong pull on the way in which people behave, relate to each other and work together and will be explored later.
