Abstract

"Centers of Power in the Arab Gulf States" by Kristian Coates Ulrichsen explores the topic of power within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The book examines different types of power and authority in the six Gulf states, including dynastic families, consultation practices, institutions, representation, opposition, distribution processes, and the role of the military. Ulrichsen takes a relational approach to power, highlighting the influence of external security partners on the Gulf states. While the book provides valuable insights into the power structures of the Gulf monarchies, it also acknowledges the limits of their power. [Extracted from the article]
