The process of globalization has created many challenges for countries. Small countries, meanwhile, face more challenges, because they are more influential and vulnerable communities. Researchers have published various articles and books about this issue and have tried to explain the situation of countries in the process of globalization, and their actions to resolve the problems and challenges of globalization. With this approach, the author of the book "The Gulf States in International Political Economy" has tried to explain the position of the GCC members in the international economy in the era of globalization. This book examines and analyzes the actions of small countries in the Persian Gulf to adapt to globalization and global conditions. In this article, with a critical review of this book, we have tried to examine and introduce its strengths and weaknesses. This study shows that the author of the book has provided valuable analysis of the policies and actions of the small the Persian Gulf countries to improve their position in the international economy. But, at the same time, the book has numerous formal and content weaknesses, especially its translated text.

The study of marine history is one of the important cases in historical research. However, insufficient research has been done in this field in Persian language, and it was frequently investigated by non-academic writers. “The Atlas of Ports and Maritime History of Iran” is compiled by a group of researchers supervised by two professors in the history field. In general, this article, as a review paper, tries to identify and scrutinize the strengths and weaknesses of the book in addition to improving its scientific quality for the future issues. To sum up, the comprehensiveness and utilization of various sources and research by using useful maps, clear illustrations, and sufficient tables can be proposed as the strengths of the book, while the dispersion and heterogeneity of the content and disaffiliation of the Persian Gulf and the Oman Sea section with the Caspian Sea section are the major weaknesses of the book.
