Thoughts on governance in the GCC

"Past attempts at broader based regulation in terms of national taxation systems [in the Gulf Cooperation Council], enforcement of intellectual property rights, information-gathering through censuses and business surveys, residency registration, or even just the enforcement of traffic rules, have proven difficult and have met considerable resistance."

I really enjoy that this is an excerpt from an article on governance systems and renewable energy throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council. I mean...really, traffic issues are so bad here that they have made their way into a report on the state of renewable resources and governance in the GCC, which has nothing to do with traffic rules....

Hilarious.
