The Wharton Shoold has HR professor Peter Capelli in Bahrain for an interesting consulting job:

"They are in the process of creating institutions from scratch," says Cappelli, who met the Bahrainis through the U.S. State Department and has written a report suggesting ways for them to modernize everything from the treatment of expatriate workers to higher education.
