Sectarian gulf : Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the Arab Spring that wasn't / Toby Matthiesen. - 1 online resource -
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Oil, God, and pearls -- The great sectarian game -- Pearl roundabout -- Counter-revolution -- A Saudi achilles heel -- The orange movement -- Arab springs, Arab falls.
As popular uprisings spread across the Middle East, popular wisdom often held that the Gulf States would remain beyond the fray. In Sectarian Gulf, Toby Matthiesen paints a very different picture, offering the first assessment of the Arab Spring across the region. With first-hand accounts of events in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, Matthiesen tells the story of the early protests, and illuminates how the regimes quickly suppressed these movements. Pitting citizen against citizen, the regimes have warned of an increasing threat from the Shia population. Relations between.
