Description
AngloArabia: Why Gulf Wealth Matters to Britain By David Wearing The UK's relationships with Saudi Arabia and other Gulf monarchies are under intense scrutiny. Huge controversy surrounds the British government's alliances with these deeply repressive regimes, particularly its key role in the disastrous Saudi-led intervention in Yemen. What drives the British government's decision-making in the Gulf? How have Anglo-Arabian relations grown closer despite ongoing human rights abuses? In this groundbreaking analysis, David Wearing explores the complex structures of UK-Gulf relations in trade and investment, arms sales and military cooperation, and energy. He sheds light on the lengths to which the British state has gone to support these regimes, revealing the shocking extent of its involvement. This book provides a crucial insight into 'AngloArabia' and what's at stake for both sides.
