The Making of the Modern Gulf States: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman (The making of the Middle East) - Softcover
Rosemarie Said Zahlan tells the story of their formation of the modern Gulf states, their evolution from colonial dependency to statehood, and their fairy-tale transformation by oil. She illuminates their relationship with each other, with the wider Arab world and, crucially, with the major world powers. The result is an informed and balanced picture of the political, economic, religious and cultural character of the area.

Dr Rosemarie Said Zahlan is a leading authority on the Gulf who has pioneered the development and understanding of the subject.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. xi, 180 pp., 2 maps, 9 photographs, publisher?s original wrappers, lightly rubbed round edges, otherwise copy inside in mint condition, appendix, index. The book is based on a wide range of primary materials, including recently declassified documents used here for the first time. It defines and describes the geopolitical framework of the region and the state system which emanated from it. It explains how the Gulf states owe their creation and survival, sometimes against many odds, to forces well beyond the waters of the Gulf. The author tells the story of the formation of the states, their evolution from colonial dependency to statehood, their socio-economic transformation by oil, and their stability in the midst of change. She illuminates their relationships with each other, with the wider world, and with the major world powers. #35142. Seller Inventory # 005615
