This study offers a comprehensive examination of the regions future goods trade potential and joint venture projects already under way or planned. A detailed comparison of country-specific economic structures and problems presents the background situation, which will decisively determine the future cooperation and trade potential. This is followed by an overview of existing and presently negotiated regional and international trade agreements. The trade potential analysis includes trade relations with the European Union and the Gulf Cooperation Council, and aims at providing a realistic assessment of the goods trade potential of the region under the assumption that existing trade restrictions are removed. Since fears of Israeli economic dominance are great in many parts of the Arab World, particular attention is paid to the question of possible risks associated with trade liberalization for the individual countries and how these could be reduced. - - -.
