Dependent Neo-Liberalism: Gulf Economic Power in the Mashriq

 

Dr. Hannes Baumann from King’s College examined how Gulf corporations are restructuring Arab economies around a nexus of finance and real estate. The lecture built on Adam Hanieh's work on Gulf capital to show how 'dependent neoliberalism’ was constructed in Lebanon and how this analysis can be extended to other countries in the Mashriq.
