Rethinking Arab Supply Chains Strategies for Cooperation Resilience and Competitiveness
Abstract
This chapter explores a new approach to supply chain management (SCM) in the Middle East, emphasizing cooperation among Arab countries instead of conflict. Despite the region's strategic position, supply chains remain fragmented, with low intra-Arab trade and high operational disruption costs. Quantitative data indicate that intra-GCC trade is growing, logistics performance is improving, and trade facilitation correlates with efficiency, yet regional integration remains limited. This research identifies mechanisms, policies, and frameworks, such as harmonized regulations, shared infrastructure, and digital trade platforms, that enhance resilience, sustainability, and middle competitiveness. Findings demonstrate that cooperative SCM reduces disruptions, lowers costs, and strengthens economic and institutional ties. Recommendations include expanding regional collaboration, standardizing procedures, and investing in shared logistics to transform fragmented networks into resilient, sustainable, and integrated supply chains across Arab Region.
