Economics and Political Evolution in The Arabian Gulf States.

A presentation copy signed and dated in Arabic by the author.
This book, written at the end of the 1960s as the British were preparing to withdraw from the Gulf, provides a useful introduction at the problems then facing the Sheikhdoms. His firsthand experience as administrator with the Ministry of Education in Qatar and as Vice President of the Emiri Court in Abu Dhabi, Dr Ramahi presents a perceptive view of the problems associated with rapid development, such as immigration and bureaucratic modernisation.
