Routledge Arabian Peninsula Society Politics - Routledge Library Edition

This authoritative academic volume examines the society and politics of the Arabian Peninsula, a region long underrepresented in scholarly discourse despite its cultural and religious significance. Originally published in 1972, the collection brings together papers from a prestigious conference jointly organised by the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London and the Middle East Centre of St Antony's College, Oxford. The work provides comprehensive coverage of multiple areas across the Peninsula with particular emphasis on the Gulf States, offering in-depth analysis of political structures, social dynamics, and regional developments. Part of the Routledge Library Editions series on Middle East politics, this volume remains an important reference for students and researchers studying Arabian history, Islamic civilisation, and Middle Eastern geopolitics.
