It discusses the recent 'environmental enthusiasm' in the oil- and gas-rich Gulf monarchies by asking how political power can be constituted through advocating environmental sustainability. While hydrocarbon-wealthy Gulf monarchies have been viewed as the globe's 'hydrocarbon powerhouse' with an immense ecological footprint, efforts towards sustainability and environmental protection measures are increasingly monitored. Climate Change, environmental, degradation and the global pressure towards a low-carbon development are threatening the very basis of economic and political power of the oil- and gas-exporting Gulf monarchies. So far, discussions about this fundamental transformation have barely elaborated how it affects and reorganizes political power games in the region. This book attempts to overcome the dominant focus of techno economic drivers of change and uncovers how environmental sustainability impacts state-society and state-elite relationships as well as shaping regional and even global geopolitics. Dr. Tobias Zumbraegel is a postdoctoral researcher at the cluster of excellence "Climate, Climatic Change, and Society" (CLICCS) of the University of Hamburg and a researcher at the Center for Applied Research in Partnership with the Orient (CARPO). He studied History, Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies in Cologne, Tuebingen and Cairo and holds a Ph.D. from the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, which was awarded with the dissertation prize of the German Middle East Association. 001449949 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 3, 2022). 001449949 650_0 $$aSustainable development$$zPersian Gulf States. 001449949 650_0 $$aSustainability$$xPolitical aspects$$zPersian Gulf States. 001449949 651_0 $$aPersian Gulf States$$xEnvironmental conditions. 001449949 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001449949 77608 $$iPrint version :$$z9789811944307 001449949 830_0 $$aContemporary Gulf studies.$$x2662-3218 001449949 852__ $$bebk 001449949 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-19-4431-4$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001449949 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1449949$$pGLOBAL_SET 001449949 980__ $$aBIB 001449949 980__ $$aEBOOK 001449949 982__ $$aEbook 001449949 983__ $$aOnline 001449949 994__ $$a92$$bISE
