Through the innovative lens of 'modern traditionalism,' it examines how Qatar blends contemporary social policies with traditional cultural values across nine key sectors: public health, education, social security, social care, housing, disability, employment, family, and gender. The book's unique approach combines the Policy Arrangement Approach with Rentier State Theory and Historical Institutionalism to provide in-depth analyses of Qatar's social welfare policies. This interdisciplinary perspective offers fresh insights into the interplay between modernization, tradition, and social policy in a rentier state. Covering historical trajectories, current institutional arrangements, and future challenges, the book provides a holistic view of Qatar's social welfare system. It explores how the country navigates the tensions between rapid modernization and cultural preservation, offering valuable lessons for other countries. Intended for academics, policymakers, and students in public policy, Middle Eastern studies, social policy, and development studies, this book offers both theoretical depth and practical insights. It is an essential resource for understanding social welfare development in resource-rich states, offering valuable insights for both academic research and policy formulation in the Arab Gulf region and beyond. 410 0$aGulf Studies,$x2662-4508 ;$v22 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aMiddle East$xPolitics and government 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aCultural geography 606 $aIslam and the social sciences 606 $aIslamic sociology 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aComparative Social Policy 606 $aMiddle Eastern Politics 606 $aSocial and Cultural Geography 606 $aSocial Scientific Studies of Islam 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aMiddle East$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aCultural geography. 615 0$aIslam and the social sciences. 615 0$aIslamic sociology. 615 14$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aComparative Social Policy. 615 24$aMiddle Eastern Politics. 615 24$aSocial and Cultural Geography. 615 24$aSocial Scientific Studies of Islam. 676 $a330.1556 676 $a302.13 700 $aBrik$b Anis Ben$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01802817 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910992786903321 996 $aSocial Welfare in Qatar$94349066 997 $aUNINA
