First published in 1989. Bahrain is at the same time unique among
the Arab oil-producing Gulf states and indicative of future
developments in these emirates. Its uniqueness lies in the social,
political, and economic structures of the country: The indigenous
population is characterized by a peculiar set of overlapping
cleavages; the country's industrial work force has a history of
militant action and a degree of political consciousness unmatched
in neighbouring states; and the islands' economy has achieved a
level of diversification into non-petroleum-related activities that
is the envy of planners in the surrounding area. This study
provides an overview of current trends on the islands and of the
social and historical context from which they have emerged. It is
intended as an introduction to Bahraini affairs for the general
reader and thus makes use of the existing literature wherever
possible.
