Kuwait Museum
The Kuwait National Museum is a well-respected institution that reflects the history and culture from this region of the Middle East. It was established in 1983 only to be looted and burned by the Iraqi invasion in 1990, at the hands of the military forces of Saddam Hussein. This paper reviews the many aspects of the museum and traces its history and its vision.

hy the Kuwait National Museum was built

According to the Kuwait National Museum website, the museum was originally built in order to have an appropriate place for the private historic collection of Sheikh Nasser Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah and Sheikha Hussah Sabah al-Salem al-Sabah. The museum was first established in 1983, and a group of preservation specialists from various institutions came together as a group and helped the private collections become presented as a museum for the public to visit and learn from.

Kuwait's Business Environment
Business regulations

In the recent past doing business in Kuwait was only made possible and easy for Kuwait's nationals, as the past law then was mainly viewed as trying to encourage the locals to be business owners and take all the opportunities available. However this did change when in the year 2001 the Kuwait government enacted law No.8 that was intended to encourage foreign investors to establish their business in Kuwait. Law No.8 was an exception to the law governing doing business in Kuwait as it allowed non-citizens the right to fully own a business entity in certain specific sectors of the economy.

According to research conducted by Braithwaite & Drahos (2000 p78-93), which shows that there are three major factors that potential investors should consider thoroughly before establishing a business venture in Kuwait, first they should have a good knowledge about Kuwait's business environment and they can achieve so….

The various peaceful means that are to be found in a typical foreign policy is, for one, the act of offering grants of varying degrees to these underdeveloped countries. This type of economic policy may also include technical assistance and aid, the decisions to either raise or to lower tariffs, and also to deny or to grant access to foreign markets. The management or the manipulation of information is also another important aspect of the foreign policy of a country through the system of 'diplomacy'. This plays a very important role in the development of the foreign policy of a nation, as it has the power to make or break the policy. (International elations in Historical Perspective)

History Of Education in Kuwait

Kuwait Pearl diving

Situated in the North-East of Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia was a small Arab state, Kuwait. Citizens of this state led an underprivileged life, but not an unfortunate one. The state was an example that money is not a prerequisite to live a happy life. Although people were poor, they were satisfied with the little amount of money they earned from pearl diving, camels or from working abroad. The deserts of Kuwait were not rich enough to be exploited, leaving sea as the major source of revenue for Kuwaitis (Kuwait National Commission for Education, 1996).

Pearl diving

This activity was encouraged to the extent that it became the recognition symbol for the citizens of Kuwait. This symbol was plausible with the fact that pearl diving was the most important source of revenue for Kuwaitis and thus proved to be valuable for….

Health System of Kuwait
The Managerial Functioning of Kuwait's Health Care System

General Description of the Kuwait Health System

Kuwait claims to have one of "the most comprehensive health care systems, and one of the most all-encompassing social service systems in the world" (KIO, 2003). This health care system has offered free - or nearly free - services to the entire population of Kuwait for about fifty years.

If a Kuwaiti citizen is sick, that person is cared for at no charge; if a person is in an auto accident, or needs an examination for an emerging skin irritation, health service is provided. Free health service is also extended to veterinary medical care for livestock and animals. If a sheep herder finds one of more of his animals is diseased, veterinarians will provide care for that disease. If a family dog is hit in the road and suffers broken legs, a Kuwaiti government veterinarian….

Thus, Iraq has defied the economic embargo applied according to resolution 661 and has not cooperated with the arms inspection imposed by the UN Security Council through Resolution 665 (Leurdijk and eernink, 2002).
Therefore, the state of Kuwait can no longer consider itself protected by the international community and by the United Nations which it trusts greatly. The international law offers the possibility to retaliate in a manner that can save the people and territory of Kuwait from being subjected to increase suffering at the hands of the Iraqi army. The right to intervene in the name of a sovereign state attacked by Iraq is legitimate and should be used accordingly. The events that started on August 2 may lead to further distress for the surrounding countries and will be an obvious affront to the legitimacy of the United Nations as well as to the power of the international law….

American University of Kuwait

Iraqi President addam Hussein invaded Kuwait and the Bush administration assembled a "winning" coalition of domestic and international supporters, and prevented opposing or "blocking" coalitions from forming. In several phases of coalition building, the Bush administration gained: access to bases in audi Arabia; financial support from Kuwait, audi Arabia, Japan and Germany; international legitimacy in the U.N. ecurity Council; a commitment from Israel not to respond if attacked; and domestic political support from the U.. Congress. The Bush administration sequenced their coalition by starting with approaching the Arab coalition by recruiting the audis, who were arguably harder to recruit than other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council.
The Bush administration sequenced their coalition assembly since doing so would influence parties' assessments of the potential returns to be realized from joining. Parties would take into consideration the previous countries who had agreed to join and those who were still to be….

banking industry is complex, and in any given market there will be a mix of local and global banks. This is true in the Gulf States as well.

Author makes the point that in an increasingly energy-starved world, smaller oil-exporting countries such as Kuwait are going to play an important role in the Middle East region as well as in global events in the coming years. Cordesman also makes the alarming argument that many of the nations in the Middle East, including Kuwait, have vastly overstated their self-reported oil reserves in ways that have skewed predictions about global energy needs in the future.

In delineation, externalities are the indirect effects of consumption, production, and investment decisions of people, households, and firms, which have an impact of people regardless of how minimal they are (Helbling, 2012). These indirect effects are some of the key reasons why governments often intervene in the economic realm. A great deal of these externalities are encompassed in technical externalities, which are the indirect effects that have an influence on the consumption and production prospects of other individuals, however the prices of the goods or services do not take these externalities into consideration. Consequently, there are dissimilarities and variances between private returns or costs and the returns or costs to society (Helbling, 2012). This paper will discuss both positive and negative externalities using examples of both externalities from the activities of public and private sector organizations operating in Kuwait.

Introduction
As the GM Case Study indicates, competition between the local brand and the foreign brand can give the local brand an edge especially when the foreign brand has more cost attached to it. GM, for example, was obliged to cut the costs of its cars in China because the national brands were gaining market share “by offering cheaper sport utility vehicles” (Bloomberg, 2015). In Kuwait, there is a lot of potential for local businesses to grow and edge out foreign competitors. In various fields, Kuwait is showing potential and innovation. It is behind only Saudi Arabia and Turkey in the number of scientific and technological patents produced (USPTO, 2015). Kuwait has emerged as a leader in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries in terms of innovation (“Kuwait sees fastest growth of GCC countries obtaining patents,” 2016). And as the Kuwait Times (2018) reports, “Kuwait has witnessed an extraordinary rise in entrepreneurship….
