abstract

  • This paper focuses on the disparity that exists between Arab and non-Arab trading blocs and the potential that e-commerce offers in narrowing this gap. The current Arab intra-trade state of affairs is analyzed, targeting potential trade opportunities. These prospects are evaluated, along with the adoption of technology to render advantages to the Arab world. Many countries have and continue to benefit from the acceptance of e-commerce; understanding its applicability and effectiveness beyond and within the Arab trading blocs is of vital importance to increase trade. Our analysis presents a perspective on regional trade and utilization of technology within the global community and broadening trade possibilities among Arab countries. © 2003, MCB UP Limited
