This book examines the changing image of the Arab Gulf States in
the West. It addresses the question of perception in international
relations and how the Arab States of the Gulf have pursued various
endeavors to project themselves into Western imagination. The book
chapters generate ideas on how perceptions came about and ways to
improve cultural and political realities on the ground in the Arab
Gulf States. Thus, it paves the way for a new area of research in
the field of Gulf Studies that extends beyond traditional
international relations frameworks by weaving elements of
intercultural communication into the mix. Recognizing, yet
extending beyond, a traditionally realist framework, which has
dominated the analysis of Arab Gulf States' foreign relations with
western countries, this book tackles both the materialist and the
symbolic in the efforts and initiatives launched by the Arab Gulf
States. Some chapters maintain a social-scientific approach about
the politics of the Arab Gulf States in the West from an
international relations lens. Others employ theoretical frameworks
that were founded on the notion of the "encounter," with
anthropological lenses and concepts of intercultural communication.
In addition to the value of this academic research agenda, as such,
some of the chapters also touch upon the added importance of
policy-oriented input. As the Arab Gulf States actively engage with
the West, the book would widely appeal to students and researchers
of Gulf politics and international relations.
