This book, first published in 1988, compiles selected contributions
to a symposium on 'The Gulf and the Arab World' held by the Centre
for Arab Gulf Studies at Exeter University, UK, in July 1986. The
historical perspective was considered to be a prerequisite for
focusing on modern developments, and two chapters are devoted to
the coming of both the Arabs and Islam to the Gulf, and a further
chapter examines the role of the Ottoman Empire in the region. The
remaining chapters concentrate on recent interaction under the
broad headings of political and socio-political affairs,
demographic aspects, financial interchange and questions of
security. A large part of the book is devoted to detailed analysis
of the main factor in Arab Gulf/Arab world relations: the huge
flow, in one direction, of Arab migratory manpower and, in the
reverse direction, of Gulf financing and workers' remittances.
