The Making of the Modern Gulf States by Rosemarie Said Zahlan Pdf
The Gulf States are the focus of great international interest – yet their fabulous evolution from pearl-fishing to oil-drilling, their individuality and variety, are screened by a thick cloud of petro-dollars. This book, first published in 1989, tells the story of their formation, their evolution from colonial dependency to statehood, and their transformation by oil. The result is an informed and balanced picture of the political, economic, religious and cultural character of the area. It is also a story of the powerful families and their sheikhs that have had to hurry these states into the modern world; of the interchanging role of political and economic dependence, the influence of the oil industry, the influx of workers from abroad, and the varying forces acting on the Gulf States.

Small Countries of the Persian Gulf and U.S. Relations by Alexis Graves Pdf
Bahrain is a longtime ally that is pivotal to maintaining Persian Gulf security. Kuwait remains pivotal to U.S. efforts to secure the Persian Gulf region because of its consistent cooperation with U.S. strategy and operations in the region and its proximity to both Iran and Iraq. Qatar, a small peninsular country in the Persian Gulf, emerged as a partner of the United States in the mid-1990s and currently serves as host to major U.S. military facilities. The United Arab Emirates has been a significant U.S. partner in Gulf security for more than two decades, and the alliance has deepened further in recent years in order to address multiple regional threats. This book further discusses the U.S. relations with these four small countries of the Persian Gulf.
Britain and the Arab Gulf after Empire by Simon C. Smith Pdf
Although Britain’s formal imperial role in the smaller, oil-rich sheikdoms of the Arab Gulf – Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates – ended in 1971, Britain continued to have a strong interest and continuing presence in the region. This book explores the nature of Britain’s role after the formal end of empire. It traces the historical events of the post-imperial years, including the 1973 oil shock, the fall of the Shah in Iran and the beginnings of the Iran-Iraq War, considers the changing positions towards the region of other major world powers, including the United States, and engages with debates on the nature of empire and the end of empire. The book is a sequel to the authors’ highly acclaimed previous books Britain's Revival and Fall in the Gulf: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the Trucial States, 1950-71 (Routledge 2004) and Ending Empire in the Middle East: Britain, the United States and Post-war Decolonization, 1945-1973 (Routledge 2012).
Around the Gulf lie hot, hazy lands of modern myth and ancient legend, where skyscrapers sparkle on the edge of the desert, where mud-brick fortresses crumble into the sand. Beyond the hasty, square-cut cities of glass and concrete, labyrinthine villages, palm-shaded oases and lazy beaches await discovery. This Way the Gulf States brushes aside the veil to reveal the culture, the history and mysteries of these intriguing countries.
