This open access
book, comprising thirty-nine chapters divided
into social, cultural, economic, and political
spheres, offers a unique opportunity to dive into the
complex, dynamic, and sometimes contradictory transformation of
Gulf societies in the last few decades. Whilst the Gulf
region has at times been seen as impervious to this natural
phenomenon of transformation—timeless, never changing,
deeply rooted in its ancient tribal customs and traditions and able
to blend past and present seamlessly without suffering the
wrenching trauma of change—this is clearly not the case,
and the region is not immune to the inevitable forces of social
change. There is no doubt today that the social change
sweeping the Gulf has been profound, affecting almost every aspect
of life in the Gulf societies. This volume has an
encyclopedic value as the chapters collectively offer multifaceted
and multidisciplinary perspectives to understand social change in
the Gulf region. Through these chapters, the role of economic and
educational transformation, and the impact of social media,
migration, and urbanization have in driving social change in the
Gulf societies is examined in detail with a focus on their
directions, magnitudes, and relevant policy options. It also
considers how COVID-19 is affecting the lives of the people in the
Gulf. This book bridges gaps in the understanding of
the rapid pace of social change in the Gulf, offering practical
solutions for policy interventions. It is of interest to scholars
and students in Middle Eastern studies, specifically, as well as
sociology, media studies, migration studies, and educational
policy.
