Abstract

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.
