Description
The Politics of Oil Monarchies in the Arab Gulf States This timely analysis demystifies the politics of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and Oman. F. Gregory Gause examines the complex interplay between Islamic fundamentalism, tribalism, and oil wealth that shape the power structures of these Gulf monarchies. Gause reveals how regional pressures translate directly into domestic affairs, and how relations with the US can both cause and solve problems for these states. He explores what drives politics in the Middle East and how US foreign policy must respond to these influences in order to forge more meaningful ties with each country and maintain stability in a vital region. By understanding the intricate dynamics at play, Gause sheds light on the challenges facing oil monarchies in the Arab Gulf States, and offers valuable insights for anyone seeking to navigate this complex and often fraught region.
