Book Launch: Kinship, State Formation and Governance in the Arab Gulf States
On Thursday July 7, AGSIW hosted a discussion on Scott Weiner's new publication examining tribe-state relations in the Gulf.
In his book, Kinship, State Formation and Governance in the Arab Gulf States, Scott Weiner builds a theoretical model of tribe-state relations through historical political analysis of tribal politics in Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman. Based on seven months of archival research and interviews in Arabic and English, the book reveals new details about state formation on the Arabian Peninsula.
AGSIW was pleased to host the launch of this new, instructive publication.
