It highlights the dynamics of the country, putting forward both an overview of each subject covered and also new research findings. It begins by providing an historical understanding of state formation and goes on to examine state structure, including the ruling monarchy, state legitimacy, and the creation of the constitution and the National Assembly. It considers foreign policy, including the tools of diplomacy, the state's regional and international approach, and the factors that have formed and reformed Kuwait's strategic policy in the global arena. It assesses the economy, including rentierism, the labour market both for locals and for migrants, the class system, and the process of Kuwaitization; and it discusses Kuwaiti society and national identity, as well as investigating issues of women, civil society, youth and the Bidoon minority. Overall, the book provides a full and detailed analysis of contemporary Kuwait and of the factors which are bringing about new developments." |
