Data Centers in Ireland and Singapore
In the last two decades, Singapore and Ireland have taken advantage of their economic openness, geographic location, and educated workforces to become leading locations for data center sectors. This has enabled both to overcome tangible territorial and physical limitations and build resilience. This policy analysis charts the evolution of the data center sectors in both countries. It locates them squarely at the center of their entrepreneurial na…
US-China AI Competition in the Arab Gulf
In the context of systemic change from a unipolar order to one characterized by multipolarity, artificial intelligence (AI) is viewed by the United States (US) and China not just as a transformational technology with apparently unlimited economic potential. It is also viewed as a central area of competition between these great powers that has the potential to redefine geopolitics in the emerging global order. This article argues that AI in the mi…
Foreign Policy Agendas and Participation in Locally Led Informal Security Coalitions
Informal multinational security coalitions are established frameworks for temporary military missions. There is an extensive scholarship on the motives of partners in coalitions led by the United States, but such choices by states in locally led coalitions in the Middle East have barely been studied. This article examines the decisions of Pakistan and Sudan to participate in the coalition in Yemen led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates,…
Qatar–Türkiye relations during the embargo of Qatar
Structurally, Qatar and Türkiye face different International Relations challenges—Turkey is a regional middle power with significant hard power resources, while Qatar is an ambitious small state with relatively scarce military capabilities. Nevertheless, the Arab Uprisings of 2011 and the shift from unipolarity to multipolarity provided the context for a dramatic acceleration in bilateral relations. In the decade and a half since those tumultuous…
Comparison of urban and rural mortality rates across the lifespan in Aotearoa/New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Previous studies undertaken in New Zealand using generic rurality classifications have concluded that life expectancy and age-standardised mortality rates are similar for urban and rural populations. METHODS: Administrative mortality (2014-2018) and census data (2013 and 2018) were used to estimate age-stratified sex-adjusted mortality rate ratios (aMRRs) for a range of mortality outcomes across the rural-urban spectrum (using major u…
The Gulf Cooperation Council and counter-terror cooperation in the post-9/11 era
Following the September 2001 (9/11) Al-Qaeda attacks on the United States the terror threat posed by transnational non-state violent actors rose to the top of the international security agenda. This article examines the evolution of counter-terror cooperation between member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council in the five years that followed the unprecedented 9/11 attacks. In doing so, it will examine the types of counter-terror cooperation ava…
Desert Kingdoms to Global Powers
A lively analysis of the Arab Gulf states’ stunning rise to global power over the last half-century and of the daunting challenges they confront today Once just sleepy desert sheikdoms, the Arab Gulf states of Saudi Arabia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait now exert unprecedented influence on international affairs—the result of their almost unimaginable riches in oil and gas. In this book, Rory Miller, an expert in Gulf …
Qatar, Energy Security, and Strategic Vision in a Small State
Since Qatar launched its gas strategy in the mid-1990s it has transitioned from an economic and political backwater into a relatively significant small state actor in the international system. In these few decades, this tiny country has established itself as a key player in the global financial, investment and property markets. In 2010, it became the world’s number one exporter of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Over the same period, it also establi…
Multinational security coalitions and the limits of middle power activism in the Middle East
This article examines Saudi Arabia's decision in recent years to use novel and hitherto unexplored informal alliance formats, which we term multinational security coalitions (MSCs). This development was initiated by the new Saudi political leadership under King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, who have a much greater inclination to pursue proactive foreign and security policies than their predecessors. However, it will be highlighted …
Overcoming smallness
Geography and the anarchic state system incentivise the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Qatar to collaborate in managing the threat posed by being neighbours of two (aspiring) regional hegemons, Saudi Arabia and Iran. However, both small states have responded very differently to the causes and consequences of instability in the Gulf region and developed very different foreign policies to deal with their structural IR problem. Just how divergent th…
The Gulf States in International Political Economy
This informed and informative book can be placed squarely at the intersection of the scholarship on international political economy and Gulf studies. This fact alone makes it a notable contribution

Britain and Latin America in the 19th and 20th Centuries
The first full-length survey of Britain's role in Latin America as a whole from the early 1800s to the 1950s, when influence in the region passed to the United States. Rory Miller examines the reasons for the rise and decline of British influence, and reappraises its impact on the Latin American states. Did it, as often claimed, circumscribe their political autonomy and inhibit their economic development? This sustained case study of imperialism …
The Euro-Arab Dialogue and the Limits of European External Intervention in the Middle East, 1974–77
The Euro-Arab Dialogue (EAD) was established by the European Economic Community in 1974 as a way of improving bilateral relations between Europe and the Arab world in the wake of the October 1973 Arab-Israeli War and the subsequent global energy crisis. This article examines the success of the EAD in its first three years in existence (between 1974 and 1977). It begins with an analysis of the literature on the framework in these years. Much of th…

Using primary sources, this study of the relationship between three anti-Zionist bodies in Britain in the years that directly preceded the founding of the State of Israel also analyzes the Zionist attitude to the Jewish Fellowship, the Arab Office and the Committee for Arab Affairs.

The Making of the Grace Contract
For most of the Latin American countries the five years between 1885 and 1890 were a period of rapid economic expansion. European investors sank their money there as the trade of the area increased. To take one example, imports to Britain from Argentina expanded from under a million pounds in 1880 to over four million in 1890, while British exports to Argentina grew from two and a half million to eight and a half million pounds.1Exports of Chilea…

The Coastal Elite and Peruvian Politics, 1895-1919
For the foreign scholar, especially, an understanding of Peruvian politics between 1895 and 1919, the period of the so-calledRepôblica Aristocràtica, is difficult to obtain. This quarter-century is considered an era of rapid social and economic change: in the words of one scholar, it completed 'the disappearance of colonial Peru'. An important element in this transition was the growth on the coast of the ruling group connected with the expanding …

Small Business in the Peruvian Oil Industry
For much of the twentieth century, the petroleum industry of Peru was dominated by the International Petroleum Company (or IPC), a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey. Yet IPC never obtained a monopoly. Other firms, such as Lobitos Oilfields Limited, a concern founded by British merchants, produced a significant amount of Peru's output. In this article, Professor Miller examines Lobitos's development from the time of the company'…

More Sinned Against than Sinning? The Case of the Arab Office, Washington, 1945–1948
In 1945, as a final settlement of the Palestine question drew near, the Arab states established the Arab Office, Washington, as part of their unprecedented effort to influence public and elite opinion on this matter in the United States. It was staffed by many of the leading young Arab intellectuals of the era. This article charts the Arab Office's attempt to reduce American support for the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine. In particular, …
Freya Stark in America
Between November 1943 and May 1944, Freya Stark, the noted writer, Arabian adventurer and wartime propagandist, undertook a publicity tour of the United States on behalf of the British Ministry of Information. The objective of her trip was to defend Britain’s wartime Palestine policy, especially the 1939 White Paper and its severe restriction on Jewish immigration into Palestine. Since its implementation, the White Paper had been subject to criti…
Bible and Soil
In the decade before the birth of Israel in 1948, Walter Clay Lowdermilk was a senior member of the United States Department of Agriculture and a world expert on irrigation and soil conservation. He was also a leading Gentile anti-Zionist who was committed to the Zionist idea on the grounds of his scientific and religious convictions. His proposal for a Jordan Valley irrigation project became a central strand of the Zionist case over the economic…
British Investment in Latin America, 1850–1950 A Reappraisal
For forty years much of the research on Britain's relationship with Latin America has been dominated by a rather narrow agenda, the boundaries of which were established by radical and conservative writers in the middle third of the twentieth century, just when Britain's role in Latin America was rapidly declining. Essentially this was a debate about power, that of British governments and businessmen on the one hand and Latin American governments …

As far as the history of British involvement in Palestine is concerned Sir Ronald Storrs (1881-1955) is best known for his time spent as military governor of Jerusalem, in the wake of Allenby's conquest of the country in 1917 and then, after the British acceptance of the Mandate, as Governor of Jerusalem and Judea from 1920 to 1926. This was not Storrs' only position of note during a diplomatic career that spanned four decades. As Oriental Secret…
