This introduction invites students to study real world macroeconomics by reading newspapers, using articles from the Financial Times to explore how conflicts affect Gulf economies and related issues like immigration.

The current war damages gulf economies by halting oil, gas, and fertilizer exports and tourism and aviation, with the UAE's global ties shaping risk and Iran's stance.

Examine how war-induced shocks disrupt trade, energy exports, and tourism; assess Gulf economies' vulnerabilities, diversification efforts, and fiscal resilience, amid globalisation, strategic infrastructure, and security-driven capital flows.

War disrupts Gulf economies, halting up to 15% of global oil, 20% of LNG, and a third of fertiliser exports, challenging budgets, tourism, and investment, underscoring diversification and resilience planning.

Explore how Gulf economies' reliance on hydrocarbon exports creates economic vulnerability, and how diversification plans like Vision 2030 and Dubai's strategies aim to grow non-oil sectors while addressing FDI barriers.

Explore how Gulf monarchies embrace globalisation and integration to become trade, finance, and tourism hubs, driving growth and FDI while facing external shocks and balancing openness with sovereignty.

Explore geopolitical economy and strategic infrastructure in the Gulf, focusing on chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el Mandeb, and the role of megaports and logistics.

Explore how the Gulf political economy of security links economic policy to regime stability, using defence, foreign ties, and diversification as strategic levers.

Compare how Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates allocate defence spending and pursue reform, linking Saudi's sovereign military spending and Vision 2030 to the UAE's technology-driven innovation.

Explore state-led development and private sector growth in Gulf economies. Analyze how oil revenues, subsidies, and public spending shape diversification, jobs, and private sector dynamics under a hybrid model.

Explore long-term structural challenges facing Gulf monarchies amid hydrocarbon dependence and fiscal fragility. Examine demographic pressures, youth unemployment, education gaps, private sector constraints, and energy transition shaping sustainable diversification.

Analyze how a weakened yet defiant Iran disrupts Gulf economies through asymmetric tactics, energy price shocks, and maritime risk, undermining investor confidence and regional diversification goals.

Examine Ballard's Kingdom Come as a prophetic critique of consumerism and soft fascism set in suburban England, alongside an art-therapy approach that emphasizes present moment attention, care, and adaptability.
