Conclusion -- Appendix: Early treatises on the law of fiefs. 330 $aFiefs and Vassals is a book that will change our view of the medieval world. Offering a fundamental challenge to orthodox conceptions of feudalism, Susan Reynolds argues that the concepts of fiefs and vassalage that have been central to the understanding of medieval society for hundreds of years are in fact based on a misunderstanding of the primary sources. Reynolds demonstrates convincingly that the ideas of fiefs and vassalage as currently understood, far from being the central structural elements of medieval social and economic relations, are a conceptual lens through which historians have focused the details of medieval life. This lens, according to Reynolds, distorts more than it clarifies. With the lens removed, the realities of medieval life will have the chance to appear as they really are: more various, more individual, more complex, and perhaps richer than has previously been supposed. This is a radical new examination of social relations within the noble class and between lords and their vassals, the distillation of wide-ranging research by a leading medieval historian. It will revolutionize the way we think of the Middle Ages. 606 $aMiddle Ages 606 $aFeudalism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMiddle Ages. 615 0$aFeudalism. 676 $a940.1 700 $aReynolds$b Susan$f1929-$0246402 801 0$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247923703316 996 $aFiefs and vassals$927291 997 $aUNISA LEADER 03633nam 22006375 450 001 9910797321603321 005 20221024195017.0 010 $a0-8014-5430-1 010 $a0-8014-5431-X 024 7 $a10.7591/9780801454318 035 $a(CKB)3710000000454491 035 $a(EBL)3425963 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001668169 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16457179 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001668169 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)15001751 035 $a(PQKB)10570005 035 $a(OCoLC)1132226146$z(OCoLC)1154870598$z(OCoLC)1155994310 035 $a(OCoLC)on1132226146 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse58383 035 $a(DE-B1597)534414 035 $a(OCoLC)1121054137 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780801454318 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3425963 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000454491 100 $a20190904d2015 fg 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||#|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aQatar $eSmall State, Big Politics /$fMehran Kamrava 205 $aWith a New Preface 210 1$aIthaca, NY :$cCornell University Press,$d[2015] 210 4$dİ2015 215 $a1 online resource (240 p.) 300 $aOriginally published: 2013. 311 $a0-8014-5677-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 203-217) and index. 327 $tFront matter --$tContents --$tPreface to the Paperback Edition --$tAcknowledgments --$tIntroduction --$t1.

Yet its enormous oil and gas wealth has permitted the ruling al Thani family to exert a disproportionately large influence on regional and even international politics. Qatar is, as Mehran Kamrava explains in this knowledgeable and incisive account of the emirate, a "tiny giant": although severely lacking in most measures of state power, it is highly influential in diplomatic, cultural, and economic spheres. Kamrava presents Qatar as an experimental country, building a new society while exerting what he calls "subtle power." It is both the headquarters of the global media network Al Jazeera and the site of the U.S. Central Command's Forward Headquarters and the Combined Air Operations Center. Qatar has been a major player during the European financial crisis, it has become a showplace for renowned architects, several U.S. universities have established campuses there, and it will host the FIFA World Cup in 2022. Qatar's effective use of its subtle power, Kamrava argues, challenges how we understand the role of small states in the global system. Given the Gulf state's outsized influence on regional and international affairs, this book is a critical and timely account of contemporary Qatari politics and society. 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aDiplomatic relations$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01907412 607 $aQatar$2fast 607 $aQatar$xForeign relations 607 $aQatar$xPolitics and government 615 7$aPolitics and government. 615 7$aDiplomatic relations. 676 $a953.63 700 $aKamrava$b Mehran$0251819 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797321603321 996 $aQatar$93798445 997 $aUNINA
