内容説明
In this outspoken analysis of the current problems facing the Gulf and the Arab Peninsula, Kaldoun Al-Naqeeb presents an original thesis on the cultural, political and economic history of the region. The book is both a history and a contemporary analysis. The author sees the main turning-points as the growth of cities along the trade routes during the mercantile period up to the beginning of the 17th century, the coming of the East India companies and the incorporation of the region into the Western economic system, the arrival of the petroleum era after World War II and the subsequent growth of the authoritarian state. It is with this state that Al-Naqeeb takes issue, arguing that central bureaucratic control is limiting growth. He describes the state as governed by the interests of the ruling family and merchant elite who, despite increased education and expectations, continue to block opportunities for social mobility. He is also critical of the lack of a broad, productive base in the economy, the export of capital and its effect on investment in local resources.
