Although foreign investment in the Middle East is on the rise, and many of the region's countries are adjusting their economies to the free market policies promoted by international economic development and trade organizations, many business investors are still hesitant to contend with what they perceive as political risk, as well as with differences in language, culture, and business practices.

What is needed is a thorough guide to the evolving business law regimes in the region--a guide that would reveal not only the many attractive areas for investment that are not adequately known beyond the region, but also the growing potential for regional integration and cooperation; in a word, a book that will dispel the uncertainties and misgivings that so often undermine the healthy development of sound business relationships.

This book is an in-depth portrait of investment opportunity in the Middle East as it stands today. For each of sixteen countries, the author provides in-depth analysis of current economic, political, and business issues, with detailed attention to legislation in such vital areas as currency and banking, intellectual property rights, investment incentives, trade regulation, business form and structures, taxation, and the laws applicable to labor and environmental issues, as well as a description of relevant judicial procedures.

The result is a wealth of detailed information, unavailable in any other single source, that gives the interested investor or counsel a clearly defined perspective on business trends, new developments, and economic growth sectors in the region. The Middle East in the New Millennium: Economic Development & Business Law represents the clearest indication we have yet of the prospects for crystallization of this rich and diverse region and the likely pace and aspect of economic liberalization. It will be of enormous value to forward-looking investors, business people, and international business lawyers.
