- Résumé
- This chapter analyzes the history, economy, politics, and foreign policy of the five smaller Arabian Gulf states: Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman. These countries have historically shared the same strengths and vulnerabilities – affluence and stability when hydrocarbon revenues flowed readily, and hardship and insecurity whenever conflict and crises enveloped the Gulf. All ruled by hereditary monarchies, but each facing unique challenges conditioned by their historical roots and royal inclinations, these five small states have well-defined political institutions but youthful populations and declining rentier wealth. This makes their future increasingly uncertain.
