Pete Moore: Kuwaiti Politics, Merchants, and the Shaping of Middle East Studies
Abstract of the talk: The study of Kuwait’s political history has shaped the broader scholarship of Middle East politics in important ways. This talk unpacks that influence in the context of merchant-state relations, oil dependency, and political contestation. It ultimately asks: how exceptional is Kuwaiti politics?
