Although Britain's formal imperial role in the smaller, oil-rich
Sheikhdoms of the Arab Gulf - Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the
United Arab Emirates - ended in 1971, Britain continued to have a
strong interest and continuing presence in the region. This book
explores the nature of Britain's role after the formal end of
empire. It traces the historical events of the post-imperial years,
including the 1973 oil shock, the fall of the Shah in Iran, and the
beginnings of the Iran-Iraq War; considers the changing positions
towards the region of other major world powers, including the
United States; and engages with debates on the nature of empire and
the end of empire. The book is a sequel to the author's highly
acclaimed previous books Britain's Revival and Fall in the Gulf:
Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the Trucial States, 1950-71 (Routledge
2004) and Ending Empire in the Middle East: Britain, the United
States and Post-war Decolonization, 1945-1973 (Routledge 2012).
