| Abstract
|
:
|
"Despite their small populations, the Arab states of the Gulf exercise an enormous and global influence. In most academic literature, however they are treated as it their only importance were as counters on a strategic game board, and most literature about them deals in simple models of oil, wealth and power. This book takes a quite different approach. By combining the interests of anthropologists, political scientists and others, it explores how the citizen populations of these states define themselves in a wider context."--Jacket.
