Om denne bog
The Persian (or Arab) Gulf countries produce about 30 per cent of the planet''s oil, and keep in the ground around 55 per cent of its crude oil reserves, hence the stability of the region''s autocratic regimes is vital to the world''s economic and political future. Yet paradoxically, despite its reputation as the most traditional of regions, the Persian Gulf holds out great promise to those who support political liberalization. But is political liberalization in the region part of an inexorable drive toward democratization - or simply a means for autocratic regimes to consolidate and legitimize their rule? This book sheds new light on this fascinating trend, revealing varying levels of commitment to reform across eight Gulf states as they respond to the challenges of increased wealth and education levels, a developing middle class, external actors, and competing social and political groups.
