This book examines the civil-social interactions which have shaped
and continue to influence the political and social development of
modern Gulf societies. It analyses the influence of public and
private social spaces, such as sports arenas and dawawin as well as
developments in the legal and cultural spheres. Geographically, the
volume covers Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and
the UAE. Each chapter discusses a different aspect of current
trends in society, offering a multidimensional perspective on
recent developments. In so doing, the chapters highlight the
existence of a growing participation culture as a force for dynamic
social change in a global context. Bringing to attention the
continuing social change in public and private spaces, which have
increased public social interactions within the last ten years,
this books also demonstrates the opening of dialogues between the
public and the authorities. The contributors are established
scholars living in the Gulf, as well as academics with long-term
field research in the region, thus providing unique perspectives on
current sociopolitical trends in the Gulf states. Participation
Culture in the Gulf will be useful to students and scholars of
Middle Eastern politics and society, as well as social movements
and political participation more generally.
