Abstract

If someone says that Egypt is the gift of the Nile and it is not for the Nile to Egypt was the countries of Persian Gulf is a gift (oil) and it is this wealth of Allah on this region for and reached the era of prosperity that is living now and through the extrapolation of the region's history before the advent of oil found us that the area was an Arab tribes of varying size and power living on both sides of the Gulf exercised its people a career diving for pearls and the limited importance of the strategic area to being a trade route vie for colonists and exchange roles in and added to the poverty of desert land and based on it can be said that the oil age was the beginning of a new era is the era of prosperity, which has become Gulf citizens enjoy the Baltknlogia modern and economic well-being, and does not want to look to limit the duration of time for the depletion of oil and find that particular guess, but it tries to answer the following question What if the oil runs out? Does the Persian Gulf states for suitable alternatives in the case of oil depletion? What is the political fate of the region after oil?.The premise on which the research is that the alternatives available in the Persian Gulf are weak and can not perform the same role played by the oil and the best alternatives in the region is the gas but not the abundance and importance where there is oil producing countries of Persian Gulf is currently 5.6 global production with an estimated reserve of 15% of global production in addition to the weakness of the geographical factors that underpin the elements of a state number of residents of the Gulf States the year was in 2000 about 31.101 million people, while the area of ​​2.673 million km 2 are small numbers not be granted countries of Persian Gulf visa to enter the era of the post-oil, which includes countries giant souls and an area such as India and China, which are preparing candidate countries to lead the world in the future, and finally we can say that this research falls within the studies geopolitical tried the researchers extrapolated the region's future political, using the two approaches are the method of historical research to dive in the history of the region before the advent of oil and the methodology of analytical research to analyze the reality of the region present and predict what shapers of events after the depletion of oil has involved the study of three Investigation touched First research where to (political and economic life in the countries of Persian Gulf before the advent of oil) in addressing the second part (after the oil the economies of the Persian Gulf) in the third section dealt with the (potential depletion of oil and alternatives raised in the Persian Gulf states).
