Description

Explore a historical re-examination of power dynamics in the Arab Gulf. This Routledge Library Edition challenges the traditional narrative used to justify British imperial expansion during the late eighteenth century. For decades, the conventional view maintained that British intervention was a necessary response to suppress Arab piracy. This book, originally published in 1988, presents a different perspective. It argues that the threat of piracy was actually a narrative created by the East India Company to serve its own commercial interests. The Company sought to expand its share of Gulf trade with India by displacing native Arab traders, specifically the Qawasim of the lower Gulf. By examining the motivations of the East India Company, this work provides a deep look into how commercial goals influenced regional politics and maritime history. It is an essential read for those studying the history of the Gulf, British imperialism, and the economic drivers behind historical maritime conflicts.
