Participation Culture in the Gulf Networks, Politics and Identity
\nBy\u00a0Nele Lenze, Charlotte Schriwer, 2018, Routledge.<\/p>\n
Book Description<\/p>\n
This book examines the civil\u2013social interactions which have shaped and continue to influence the political and social development of modern Gulf societies. It analyses the influence of public and private social spaces, such as sports arenas and dawawin as well as developments in the legal and cultural spheres.
\nGeographically, the volume covers Bahrain, Iran, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Each chapter discusses a different aspect of current trends in society, offering a multidimensional perspective on recent developments. In so doing, the chapters highlight the existence of a growing participation culture as a force for dynamic social change in a global context. Bringing to attention the continuing social change in public and private spaces, which have increased public social interactions within the last ten years, this books also demonstrates the opening of dialogues between the public and the authorities. The contributors are established scholars living in the Gulf, as well as academics with long-term field research in the region, thus providing unique perspectives on current sociopolitical trends in the Gulf states.
\nParticipation Culture in the Gulf\u00a0will be useful to students and scholars of Middle Eastern politics and society, as well as social movements and political participation more generally.<\/p>\n
