Abstract/
Summary |
This paper sheds some light on the relationship between access to global knowledge and sustainable development in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. In this age of globalisation, sustainable development depends on the country's capabilities to absorb, apply and create knowledge. Reliance on local ingredients alone is no longer sufficient for sustaining economic development and, therefore, access to global knowledge becomes vital for promoting continuity and change. The GCC countries are financially capable of acquiring global knowledge to enhance local growth and to sustain development. |
