Specificatii
What role does Qatar play in the Middle East and how does it differ
from the other Gulf states? How has the ruling Al-Thani family
shaped Qatar from a traditional tribal society and British
protectorate to a modern state? How has Qatar become an economic
superpower with one of the highest per capita incomes in the world?
What are the social, political, and economic consequences of
Qatar's extremely rapid development?In this groundbreaking history
of modern Qatar, Allen J. Fromherz presents a full portrait that
analyzes Qatar's crucial role in the Middle East and its growing
regional influence within a broader historical context. Drawing on
original sources in Arabic, English, and French as well as his own
fieldwork in the Middle East, the author deftly traces the
influence of the Ottoman and British empires and Qatar's Gulf
neighbors on the country prior to Qatar's meteoric rise in the
post-independence era. Fromherz gives particular weight to the
nation's economic and social history, from its modest origins in
the pearling and fishing industries to the considerable economic
clout it exerts today, a clout that comes with having the
second-highest natural gas reserves in the region. He also looks at
what the future holds for Qatar's economy as the country tries to
diversify beyond oil and gas. Furthermore, the book examines the
paradox of Qatar where monarchy, traditional tribal culture, and
conservative Islamic values appear to coexist with ultra modern
development and a large population of foreign workers who outnumber
Qatari citizens.This book is as unique as the country it
documents--a multi-faceted picture of the political, cultural,
religious, social, and economic make up of modern Qatar and its
significance within the Gulf Cooperation Council and the wider
region.
