Drawing together a unique combination of authors that have researched the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in general, and the state of Qatar specifically, each author provides an in-depth empirical analysis of Qatar's current social, political, and economic landscape against a historically informed backdrop. Cognizant of its rapid state of flux, the contributors collectively provide a comprehensive overview of the intersection of these respective areas, delving into the historical creation of Qatar as a state, its politics and systems of governance, its economic strata and reliance on natural resources, its society and national identity, its new and thriving sports culture, and, most topically, matters of diplomacy, the 2017 blockade, and its armed forces. Owing to the contributors' invaluable firsthand experience and knowledge of Qatar, this book provides valuable insights into this nation, at once old and new, and its intertwined trajectories in its socio-political and economic positionality within the region. This book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars researching the Middle East generally, and the Gulf, specifically, with interests in topics such as politics and international relations, political economy and foreign policy, development, sources of social change, societal activism, popular culture, and the various elements of identity. 001437540 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed June 30, 2021). 001437540 651_0 $$aQatar$$xPolitics and government. 001437540 651_0 $$aQatar$$xEconomic conditions. 001437540 651_0 $$aQatar$$xSocial conditions. 001437540 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001437540 7001_ $$aZweiri, Mahjoob,$$eeditor. 001437540 7001_ $$aAl Qawasmi, Farah,$$eeditor. 001437540 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9811613907$$z9789811613906$$w(OCoLC)1240493910 001437540 830_0 $$aGulf studies (Springer (Firm)) ;$$vv. 4 001437540 852__ $$bebk 001437540 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-1391-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001437540 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1437540$$pGLOBAL_SET 001437540 980__ $$aBIB 001437540 980__ $$aEBOOK 001437540 982__ $$aEbook 001437540 983__ $$aOnline 001437540 994__ $$a92$$bISE
