Dilemma Of Development In The Arabian Peninsula

de Osama Abdul Rahman

55,64€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book, first published in 1987 and by one of Saudi Arabiaâ€™s most distinguished academics, reviews the experience of the Arab oil producers in social, economic and political development in the key period of the Seventies and Eighties. It is broadly pessimistic about the prospects for future development and sceptical about past achievements. It argues that the â€˜petro-bureaucracyâ€™ in the Arabian Peninsula has failed to establish the basic principles of effective development because it has been mesmerised by the vast oil revenues it has attempted to administer. The book suggests that in many respects the oil revenues have obstructed serious development because they have made the Arabian economies totally dependent on one expendable resource and this has made them too vulnerable to external pressures and interests. Furthermore, the oil revenues have encouraged fantasy and wishful thinking which have skewed the development process and stimulated pseudo-development. The book makes clear that until the petro-bureaucracy adopts a realistic approach to development there can be no prospect of real development in the Arabian Peninsula.

de Jacob M. Landau

55,64€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Although nineteenth-century Egyptian Jewry was an active and creative part of society, this work from 1969 is the main comprehensive work devoted to an analysis and appraisal of its activities. The period under review commences with the fall of the Mamluk regime in Egypt, and the incipient modernization of the state, with the resulting increase in Jewish activity. It terminates with the end of World War I and the new era in the history of modern Egypt, an era of extreme nationalism that led to the undermining of the Jewish community.

Kuwait And The Gulf - Small States And The International System

de Hassan Ali Al-Ebraheem

38,41€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A major result of the Second World War was the emergence of small states which vastly increased the membership of the international system. While a number of small states existed before the war many of these had made no effort to participate actively in the system; since then, the doctrine of equality of states has been established, in theory at least, through their admission to the UN. This book, first published in 1984, deals with the factors which have contributed to the emergence of such a large number of small states, the difficulties which they have experienced in achieving statehood, and their struggle to gain political integration. A precise analysis of the foreign policy and economic factors governing the activity of small states, particularly that of Kuwait and the other Gulf states, is presented here.

Dawn Over Oman

de Pauline Searle

55,64€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Oman is one of the most beautiful and popular countries in the Middle East, yet a few years ago it was one of the worldâ€™s backwaters where visitors were discouraged.

This book, first published in 1979, takes the reader around the country, from the rugged Musandam peninsula in the north to the southern province of Dhofar. It builds a bridge between historical and modern Oman, describes the people and their landscapes, and the countryâ€™s indigenous arts and crafts.

Kuwait: The Transformation Of An Oil State

de Jill Crystal

55,64€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Kuwait, unlike most of its neighbours, has a well-established national identity and a long history as a nation, dating back to the eighteenth century. In this book, first published in 1992, Dr. Jill Crystal focuses on two recurring themes in Kuwaiti history: one, the preservation of a sense of community in the face of radical economic, social and political transformations; the second, internal rivalry over the conventions governing relations among members of the community. Crystal skilfully weaves these themes into a broad profile of Kuwait, analysing the nationâ€™s transformation from a pre-oil to an oil economy; its social structure and composition, including the countryâ€™s tribal roots and key divisions involving class, gender and immigrant labour; political tensions resulting from the nationâ€™s sudden wealth and the accompanying changes in social structure; and its relations with other countries in the Gulf and the Middle East.

Changing Middle Eastern City

55,64€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Middle East, defined here as extending from Morocco to Iran and Turkey to Sudan, lies at the crossroads of three continents â€" Africa, Asia and Europe. With the largest reserves of petroleum in the world its importance is well beyond its physical size and population. Rapid urban growth has radically transformed Middle Eastern society in recent decades, but the associated problems are incompletely understood. This volume, first published in 1980, highlights some of the major issues of Middle Eastern urbanisation and provides a comprehensive statement about the current position of research. Urban origins and the nature of urban growth are discussed to provide a background to considerations of migration, employment, housing and retailing. The contributors suggest that planning strategies have hitherto proved inadequate with small towns being largely overlooked, historic quarters rapidly disappearing and water in short supply. Future research into all these problem areas is considered essential, but the research must be coordinated and utilised. Concentrating on practical problems, achievements and challenges for research, the contributions in this book, specially commissioned from active researchers in the field, will prove a valuable guide to recent ideas and developments in the Middle East.

Republic Of Lebanon - Nation In Jeopardy

de David C. Gordon

55,64€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Torn by civil war, its major city in shambles, and occupied by foreign peacekeeping forces as well as foreign armies, the Republic of Lebanon in the 1980s was struggling to regroup, rebuild and resolve its problems under new leadership. In this analytical survey, first published in 1983, Professor Gordon addresses such questions as why the republic â€" rooted in the distant past â€" succumbed to such disintegration. Lebanonâ€™s multi-ethnic character and the Palestinian presence are considered fully, and Lebanon is examined in the international context, inevitably with particular reference to the creation of Israel and its consequences. The country is viewed both in its own right and also as a small skiff on a very rough regional and international sea.

 The modern Arab world is faced with a serious problem in the imbalance between human and natural resources. The Gulf states, with their vast natural resources, are poor in human resources, whereas in Egypt or Jordan the picture is reversed. This study, first published in 1983, considers the range of factors affecting development in the Arab world and examines the broad sectoral resources, the infrastructure for resource development and the range of problems shaping the political economy of Arab advancement. In conclusion, an analysis is made of the existing trends in the transformation of Arab society and ways are suggested in which these trends will develop over the next decade.

Arab Education In Transition - A Source Book

de Byron G. Massialas e Samir Ahmad Jarrar

38,41€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The operation of schools in the Arab world is a topic about which very little is known in the West. This volume, first published in 1991, provides information about the Arab school and thus contributes to an understanding of what is taught, by whom, and under what conditions. It seeks to define the interaction between traditional elements and innovative forces impinging on the Arab school, as well as reviewing policies that concern the education of Arab children. It is maintained that Arab schools are in a state of transition, reproducing society and its norms on one hand while on the other operating as agents seeking to transform society. This work examines this claim in detail, providing a unique discussion about education in the Arab world.
