Representation and Democratic Progress in Kuwait
This article reviews issues pertaining to representation in Kuwait with a focus on the tension between democratic representation and political exclusion. We will discuss how a democratically elected parliament had thwarted the enfranchisement of women until 2005 whereas an unelected ruling elite was the major force driving for women's political representation and participation. We will then discuss the issue of non-citizen Kuwaitis and the recent…
Political Change in the Arab Gulf States
Although reform movements have been prominent in varying degrees in most Middle Eastern countries for some time, the recent cascade of events has generated new pressures for democratization throughout the Arab World. Political Change in the Arab Gulf States explores the politics influencing the volatile situation in the region, as well as specific measures devised by regimes in power to adjust to the challenges of the current environment. The aut…
Identity and Transplant-University Education in the Gulf
High youth unemployment in the Gulf Cooperation Council states coexists with a shortage of educated young people prepared to work in a modern economy, despite the high level of investment in education at all levels in these countries. Consequently, policy makers have embarked on ambitious programs to improve public education at all levels, including supplementing national universities with new institutions working in partnership with colleges and…
Paradoxes of Democratic Progress in Kuwait
This paper analyzes the struggle for women’s suffrage in Kuwait to determine how and why it was successful. The research highlights two paradoxical findings: first, democratic progress occurred despite the pacifying and hindering effects of modernization; second, it was supported more strongly and effectively by Kuwait’s autocratic executive than the democratically elected Kuwaiti parliament. We delineate two psychological factors that were conne…
The Winter of the Arab Spring in the Gulf Monarchies
The Arab spring was quickly chilled in the Gulf states where monarchies proved more resilient in the face of political challenges than post-revolutionary states in North Africa and the fertile crescent. Money explains some of this resilience but so does the willingness to use the aegis of the Gulf Cooperation Council to apply deadly force against unarmed protestors in Bahrain, where severe repression of the Shiite majority continues and casts its…
La Longue Durée and Energy Security in the Gulf
Hydrocarbon riches have lifted the states of the Persian-Arabian Gulf out of poverty, but they also attract unwanted attention and external intervention. This essay examines the security goals of Gulf governments over five eras. It suggests that the expansion of state capacity is both cause and effect of foreign investment and other resource transfers, and argues that their hydrocarbon resources have been key assets of Gulf governments in pursuin…
Global politics as if people mattered
Women's Rights in the Middle East
This research identifies structural, cultural, and dynamic elements operating in the campaign for women's rights in Kuwait. Using data from multiple sources, it focuses on the main characteristics and patterns of activism starting from the Gulf War of 1990–1991, paying particular attention to its growth and decline during the 1990s, an understudied period in the literature on women's movements in the Middle East. Our findings underscore the embed…
Understanding the Contemporary Middle East
Women in International Relations
Not quite 15 years ago, the International Studies Association (ISA) sponsored an investigation into the status of women in the profession. Most of the conclusions were not too far from what Daniel Maliniak, Amy Oakes, Susan Peterson, and Michael Tierney report in this issue: Women are underrepresented among academics in political science as a whole, and especially in the field of international relations. They also are underrepresented in higher a…
The Sexual Politics of Abu Ghraib
Revelations of the torture, murder, and maltreatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq came with sensational photographs of U.S. military personnel torturing Iraqi prisoners and forcing them to perform sexualized acts. Evidence of gross violations of international law, the photographs have been used by U.S. elites to construct a discourse not about war crimes but "prisoner abuse," some referring to the activities recorded as analogous to …

Gods, Guns, and Globalization
Is it accurate to equate "fundamentalism" with antimodernism? What explains the growing importance of religious activists in world politics? Guns, Gods, and Globalization explores the multifaceted phenomenon of religious resurgence, ranging from the Christian right in the U.S. to ethnonationalist movements across North Africa and Asia. The authors' focus on the complex relationship between religious revivalism and globalization results in a nuanc…

There is little ambivalence about Saddam Hussein. Even young Kuwai is are living witnesses of the 1990-9I invasion and war, whether their knowledge comes from the stories of family members or, for the older ones, memories of their own terror. Virtually all Ku…

Women and Globalization in the Arab Middle East
This original work assesses the impact of globalization on women in Middle Eastern societies. To explore the gendered effects of social change, the authors examine trends within, as well as among, states in the region. Detailed case studies reveal the mixed results of global pressures. For some women, for example, globalization has meant increased access to education and employment; for others, it has resulted in heightened repression under ideol…

Stories of democracy
Autonomy, necessity, and the small state
To reduce its strategic vulnerability, a small state may enter into a cliency relationship with a more powerful state. Among the consequences of cliency for the small state are the acquisition of resources, which can be used against threatening neighbors as well as against domestic populations, and the reduction of autonomy. In 1899, Mubarak, Kuwait's ruler, entered a cliency relationship with Britain. As a result, Kuwait was able to avoid incorp…
A State of Two Minds
Kuwait, a small city-state on the Persian–Arabian Gulf, has undergone massive political, economic, and social development throughout the 20th century. In spite of this, Kuwaiti rulers continue to cherish what is perhaps an impossible dream: that Kuwait can be simultaneously a “developed” country and a “traditional” tribally organized social formation run by an autocratic ruler. This dream is echoed in equally ambivalent pronouncements and policie…
Measuring interdependence
Recent research on international interdependence has led to increasingly sophisticated conceptualizations of the phenomenon. However, it has not been very successful in measuring interdependence, nor in testing theories about it. Although the theoretical message of most interdependence research is that interdependence is multinational or systemic, empirical operationalization has tended to concentrate on looking for interdependence (or integratio…

Gender, citizenship and nationalism in Kuwait
The concept of citizenship in the modem world is complicated by the conflicting claims of individuals, groups and complex organizations. The most important of these is the nation-state, an entity that defines its material existence as coincident with a specific territory (Ruggie, 1986). The apposition of 'state' and 'citizen' is a modem notion. To Aristotle, the state is a plurality of citizens who come together for self-sufficiency in a politica…

Out-of-body experiences
Boundaries between major actors in the international system are less like lines in the sand than like frontiers encompassing broad areas of geographic and metaphoric overlap. Boundary locations are relative, variable and often contested, reflecting the contingency of claims by representatives of states and other corporate entities, in this case multinational firms, regarding the appropriate reach of each body's interests and the legal and practic…

Frontier Politics
Mary Ann Tetreault [*] Some of the most fascinating techniques for differentiating the status of women and men in human cultures are inscribed in the gendered allocation of interior and exterior space. Perhaps the most basic of these divisions of space is accomplished by the sequestration of women and the construction of a spatial metaphor dividing human existence into two spheres, one private, where the women are, and the other public, where the…
Spheres of liberty, conflict and power
State‐society relations during the modern period reflect notions of citizenship analogous to Isaiah Berlin's concepts of positive and negative liberty. Positive citizenship, motivated by what Robert O'Brien calls ‘the democratic impulse’, is highly participatory. The politics of seventeenth‐century Protestant social movements constitutes one historical model to which twentieth‐century fundamentalist movements can be compared. Characterized by a s…

Sex and violence
Economic restructuring in response to globalization affects virtually every area of the world, including countries that appear to have many economic advantages. Kuwait is a wealthy country, but its relatively favored position does not insulate it from struggles to limit the effects of redistribution on particular individuals and social groups. Women in Kuwait are feeling the pressures of restructuring. Educated and employed as the result of moder…
