An original and empirically grounded analysis of the Gulf monarchies and their role in shaping the political economy of the Middle East.

Recenzje

'The book is accessible to the non-specialists but is also a great resource for scholars whose subject matter expertise is the GCC. [It] brings unique insights and an interdisciplinary approach to debates across the political economy of the ME and its position on the global stage.' Omar Darwazah, Arab Studies Quarterly
