The wave of uprisings that has engulfed the Arab world since 2011
has impacted the Gulf significantly, however much the region
appears to have remained unscathed. In Bahrain, the regime cracked
down on protestors with the help of Saudi forces, and increasing
Gulf tensions with Iran, political chaos in Yemen, and rumblings
among unemployed youth throughout the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) states all complicate the facade of Gulf stability. In
addition, ties with the United States appear to be weakening;
regional politics are varied and changing, particularly with the
rise of India and China; Gulf governance is often oppressive; and
GCC economies are even more tied to rentier practices of
distribution to keep populations satisfied and in check.Gulf
Politics and Economics in a Changing World addresses these aspects
of political and economic life in the GCC, Iran, and Iraq in order
to assess the present situation. It also offers analysis and
predictions as to what the future of this important area of the
greater Middle East may hold. The volume, which features
contributions from some of the best scholars in the field of Gulf
studies in the United States, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia,
provides an in-depth and critical look at the region.
