What is All in the family : absolutism, revolution, and democracy in the Middle Eastern monarchies about?

A new and provocative argument about monarchism in the Middle East.Michael Herb proposes a new paradigm for understanding politics in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. He critiques the theory of the rentier state and argues that we must put political institutions—and specifically monarchism—at the center of any explanation of Gulf politics. All in the Family provides a compelling and fresh analysis of the importance of monarchism in the region, and points out the crucial role of the ruling families in creating monarchal regimes. It addresses the issue of democratization in the Middle Eastern monarchies, arguing that the prospects for the gradual emergence of constitutional monarchy are better than is often thought.Michael Herb is Assistant Professor in the Political Science department at Georgia State University.
