Dubai's rulers dream of creating a truly global business center, a megalopolis of many millions attracting immigrants in great waves from near and far. Kuwait, meanwhile, has the most spirited and influential parliament in any of the oil-rich Gulf monarchies. In The Wages of Oil, Michael Herb provides a robust framework for thinking about the future of the Gulf monarchies. The Gulf has seen enormous changes in recent years, and more are to come. Herb explains the nature of the changes we are likely to see in the future. He starts by asking why Kuwait is far ahead of all other Gulf monarchies in terms of political liberalization, but behind all of them in its efforts to diversify its economy away from oil. He compares Kuwait with the United Arab Emirates, which lacks Kuwait's parliament but has moved ambitiously to diversify. This data-rich book reflects the importance of both politics and economic development issues for decision-makers in the Gulf. Herb develops a political economy of the Gulf that ties together a variety of issues usually treated separately: Kuwait's National Assembly, Dubai's real estate boom, the paucity of citizen labor in the private sector, class divisions among citizens, the caste divide between citizens and noncitizens, and the politics of land. 606 $aDemocratization$zKuwait 606 $aDemocratization$zUnited Arab Emirates 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zKuwait 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zUnited Arab Emirates 606 $aEconomic development$xPolitical aspects$zKuwait 606 $aEconomic development$xPolitical aspects$zUnited Arab Emirates 607 $aKuwait$xPolitics and government 607 $aUnited Arab Emirates$xPolitics and government 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aEconomic development$xPolitical aspects 676 $a330.95357 700 $aHerb$b Michael$f1966-$01687715 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823268103321 996 $aThe wages of oil$94061404 997 $aUNINA
