On the map of global trade, China is now the factory of the world.
A parade of ships full of raw commodities-iron ore, coal,
oil-arrive in its ports, and fleets of container ships leave with
manufactured goods in all directions. The oil that fuels China's
manufacturing comes primarily from the Arabian peninsula. Much of
the material shipped from China are transported through the ports
of Arabian peninsula, Dubai's Jabal Ali port foremost among them.
China's 'maritime silk road' flanks the peninsula on all sides.
Sinews of War and Trade is the story of what the making of new
ports and shipping infrastructure has meant not only for the
Arabian peninsula itself, but for the region and the world beyond.
The book is an account of how maritime transportation is not simply
an enabling companion of trade, but central to the very fabric of
global capitalism. The ports that serve maritime trade, logistics,
and hydrocarbon transport create racialised hierarchies of labour,
engineer the lived environment, aid the accumulation of capital
regionally and globally, and carry forward colonial regimes of
profit, law and administration.
