Greenwald Publishes Article on a New Economic Middle East
Michael B. Greenwald (Pardee ’07), Lecturer at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, published a recent article in which he envisions a new economic revolution in the Middle East.
Greenwald’s article, entitled “Envisioning a New Economic Middle East: Reshaping the Gulf with Israel,” was published on January 31, 2019 by the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
From the text of the article:
We can envision the advent of a new economic revolution forming in the Shia crescent as a new, cohesive political force in the Middle East between Sunni Gulf Arabs and Israel by deepening rapprochement to counter Iran’s expansion. Alongside years of discreet contact and informal diplomatic backchannels between Gulf Countries and Israel, the future portends closer economic links between these power blocs. With the combination of Israeli technology and Gulf capital, there is no shortage of synergies eager to be developed, as Gulf States explore new visionary economic reforms looking beyond a dependence on oil revenues.
