Refining the Common Good
How has Islam as a set of beliefs and practices shaped the allocation of oil revenues in Arab Gulf monarchies? In turn, how has oil wealth impacted the role of Islamic doctrine in politics? Refining the Common Good explores the relationship between Islamic norms and the circulation of oil wealth in Gulf monarchies. The study demonstrates how both oil (revenues) and Islam (as doctrine) are manipulated as tools of state power, and how religious nor…
Identity, Community and Belonging in gcc States
Studies of identity and belonging in Gulf monarchies tend to privilege tribal or religious affiliation, if not the protective role of the ruler as paterfamilias. I focus instead on the ubiquitous foreigner and explore ways in which s/he contributes to the definition of national community in contemporary gcc states. Building upon and moving beyond the scholarly literature on imported labor in the Gulf, I suggest that the different ‘categories’ of …
Justice, Charity, and the Common Good
The article probes the effects of Islamic doctrine on the allocation of hydrocarbon revenues and vice versa and the significance of this relationship for politics. It explores two areas of (state-directed) distributive activity—government subsidies and charitable giving—in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Oman. It demonstrates how both oil revenues and Islamic doctrine are mobilized to consolidate state authority and how both have been manipulate…
Response to Pauline Jones Luong's review of Oil Wealth and the Poverty of Politics
In writing my book, I had two principal and two secondary goals. My principal goals related to Algeria itself: first, to explain the country's peculiar trajectory with political stability and, eventually, its descent into violence, followed by its fascinating restabilization; second, to use the Algerian experience to contribute to the “rentier state” literature and show that oil has not been the “curse” that the “resource curse” folks suggest it …
Oil Wealth and the Poverty of Politics
Oil rents and political breakdown in patrimonial states
Studies of oil-exporting states within the comparative political economy of development literature maintain that oil structures political, as well as economic, outcomes. Hence, political ‘breakdown’, when it occurs, is largely a function of oil. Through an in-depth consideration of the case of Algeria, this article seeks to nuance sectoral analyses that favour structural explanations. It offers two suggestions: first, that in authoritarian states…
