For centuries, the Arabian Gulf has been a crossroads where
seafaring people and Bedouins alike traveled great distances
transacting business. Events of the past few years, both good and
bad, have directed the world's attention to the Arabian Peninsula,
where a rich cultural tradition is rapidly incorporating the latest
innovations from around the world. This is the process of
globalization.
New economies create enormous potential, but it will require great
care for the people of the region to steer through a period of
profound change. Political and economic interests intent on
maintaining the flow of petroleum products on one hand, and people
in the Gulf region who assess their won interests from quite a
different perspective, on the other, exert pressures from
conflicting directions. Reconciling these interests in a time of
rapid globalization poses enormous challenges.
This timely volume, "Globalization and the Gulf" brings together
the work of scholars from both the Middle East and the West who
have the expertise to evaluate the interaction of new ideas, new
technologies and new economies. Brought together by the American
University of Sharjah and the Sociological Association of the UAE,
the contributors reflect on both the process of globalism and on
the traditions of Gulf society and culture, and they offer views on
how these trends interact within the global system.
