This open access book provides a topical overview of education, development plans, the knowledge economy, and human development in the State of Qatar, focusing on socio-political and cultural challenges, from a policy perspective. It describes the ecosystem of education and its features, impacts, and the factors that facilitate or inhibit its current shape and development, including the pendulum of internationalization versus localization of education and indigenous knowledge. The book serves as an arena to engage vital discourse on the importance of early childhood education and inclusive education systems, particularly for those with diverse abilities. In view of the transformations occurring in the education systems in the Gulf Region over the past few decades, the book examines the advancement of education in Qatar and the critical political, economic, and cultural influences shaping education development plans, reforms, and policies. The book identifies the key factors and barriers that continue to hinder governmental initiatives in the region, in terms of the need to elevate the quality of key fields. The authors unpack the requirements imposed on policymakers in the broader Gulf region and pinpoint the need for Qatar to adopt more sustainable and state-of-the-art education policies, programs, and tools, to ameliorate the quality of education. In doing so, the book draws an all-inclusive portrayal of education in the country and its links to human and economic development. It identifies the transformations required to adapt to changing conditions, particularly within a dynamic and increasingly competitive job market. Bringing together academics and experts in public policy, education, development, and related social sciences in the Arabian Gulf, this book contributes to co-creating innovative and multidisciplinary solutions within higher education, relevant to both students and scholars in these respective fields.

This open access book approaches the history of tribes and their role in the formation of the modern states of Kuwait and Qatar by blending historical, political, and sociological perspectives. Traditionally, this subject has been approached from single perspective, often picturing the tribe as a political and social entity that is opposed to the modern state. In the Gulf context, presenting and discussing the case studies of Kuwait and Qatar aims at revealing that the tribe played a salient role in the formation of the modern state in these two countries as well as in nation building, both before the oil era and even after independence. Moreover, the book bridges an important gap that is often overlooked in GCC studies which explains how the tribe suddenly became a controversial factor in Gulf states and societies. The book elaborates on tracing the roots of this transformation and in evaluating the role played by the state as it attempted to manipulate tribes to achieve political and other advantages, only to trigger the rise of tribalism as a social and at times political force that undermines the legitimacy of the state. The book also highlights the impacts of this transformation, not only on the state, but also on society as a whole, with special emphasis on women in Kuwait and Qatar. It is relevant to scholars and advanced students in areas of political sociology, identify and gender, comparative politics, and for social scientists more broadly with a specific interest in the Middle East.

This edited volume contributes a novel understanding of the past, present and future of higher education across the six countries that make up the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Against the backdrop of intense political, ideological and epistemological disruptions across the Arabian Gulf Region over the last two decades, this volume adopts critical comparative perspectives in order to chart the history, present-day and future realities of higher education in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait. By focusing on dynamics relating to neoliberalism, and using the notions of ‘tensionality’ and ‘locality’ to situate topics such as curricula, policies, practices, the volume engages with current discourses, controversies and themes such as the internationalization and marketization of higher education in these countries. In doing so, the book offers a theoretical framework to enable greater understanding of the contemporary functioning of higher education in the Arabian Gulf Region. This text will benefit scholars, academics and students in the fields of higher education and international and comparative education more broadly. Those involved with educational policy and politics, and Middle Eastern studies in general, will also benefit from this volume.

Over the past two decades, the Arabian oil-rich Gulf countries have faced enormous social, political, economic, cultural, religious, ideological and epistemological upheaval. Through detailed, critical comparative investigation, Neoliberalism and English Language Education Policies in the Arabian Gulf examines the impact of such disruption on education policies in a political and economic union, consisting of six countries: Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait. Using data collected from a wide range of sources, this thought-provoking book documents the inner workings of neoliberalism across a strategic geographical area of the Islamic world. The book teases apart the complex issues surrounding the ways in which access to English has been envisioned, contested, and protected from being challenged among different players within and between the Gulf countries. Osman Z. Barnawi explores the intensifying ideological debates between Islamic culture and Western neoliberal values, and questions whether Islamic values and traditions have been successfully harmonised with neoliberal capitalist development strategies for nation building in the Arabian Gulf region. Neoliberalism and English Language Education Policies in the Arabian Gulf will be of interest to academics, researchers and postgraduates working in the fields of language education and, more specifically, TESOL, applied linguistics, education policy, and teacher education.

Imagining the Future of Global Education examines the Grand Educational Narrative (GEN) and the major institutions that shape and disseminate it. The book focuses on national visions of education and the imaginary futures that nations seek to make reality. It critiques how the GEN policy implementation process frequently turns dreams of upward mobility into nightmares. In this way, the book takes a distinctly different approach than most comparative and international education studies. Rather than being oriented toward the past and asking how education systems around the world ended up where they are, chapters in this volume seek an understanding of how various educational visions from around the world inform the present and shape the future. Following an introductory summary of important concepts from scholarship on "imaginary futures" and global education reform, the book is organized around three themes: "What Dreams are Made Of," illustrating, through three case studies, what the GEN looks like at the national level and how it operates across national boundaries; "A Dream within a Dream," considering some of the more novel trends in international education reform in order to provide insight into how dreams seem to function; and "Keeping Dreams from becoming Nightmares," comprising three thematic essays that describe trends in education policy in one or more countries. The book concludes with lessons for scholars and policymakers.

Kay Gallagher gathers insightful research from across the lower Arabian gulf to uncover the richness and diversity of World Englishes within the contemporary Arab Gulf states. Her volume presents novel research from this emerging nexus of rapid economic, social, and linguistic development. The countries of the lower Arabian Gulf (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) have, to varying degrees, harnessed English as an internal working language and as a means to communicate globally. Gulf countries that have not featured much in the WE literature to date are highlighted in this volume, including Bahrain and Kuwait, and the use of English in the emerging colossus of Saudi Arabia is examined. Novel insights from more prominent locations are presented here for the first time, including the use of English to counter negative Islamic stereotypes during the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar, and its role in ensuring safety in a multilingual, high-risk industry in the UAE. New research into the challenges encountered in English-medium higher education in Oman and Kuwait is reported also. The linguistic features of “Gulf English” are explored, and the interplay and tensions between Arabic and English and other languages are addressed. The Englishes of expatriate populations in the Gulf are examined, including the English identity of majority and minority resident transnational groups. The issue of whether a distinctive variety of Gulf English has emerged in this multilingual melting pot, characterized by transience and flux, is debatable, and the establishment of “Gulf English” as an endonormative new variety remains elusive. This book will appeal to those with an interest in World Englishes in general, as well as those who are interested in the roles and varieties of English in use in this globally unique and rapidly evolving context.The six states of the Lower Gulf - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) - form an economic and political alliance known as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The region’s oil-rich economies have attracted millions of migrant workers, both blue-collar and white-collar, from East and West. Transnational workers have brought linguistic diversity along with multiple varieties of English to this traditionally Arabic-speaking region, amplifying an increased internal demand for English, such that English is shifting in the Gulf from a foreign language to a lingua franca.

This book offers an in-depth analysis of social welfare system in a rentier state, Qatar, tracing its evolution and institutional development. Through the innovative lens of 'modern traditionalism,' it examines how Qatar blends contemporary social policies with traditional cultural values across nine key sectors: public health, education, social security, social care, housing, disability, employment, family, and gender. The book's unique approach combines the Policy Arrangement Approach with Rentier State Theory and Historical Institutionalism to provide in-depth analyses of Qatar's social welfare policies. This interdisciplinary perspective offers fresh insights into the interplay between modernization, tradition, and social policy in a rentier state. Covering historical trajectories, current institutional arrangements, and future challenges, the book provides a holistic view of Qatar's social welfare system. It explores how the country navigates the tensions between rapid modernization and cultural preservation, offering valuable lessons for other countries. Intended for academics, policymakers, and students in public policy, Middle Eastern studies, social policy, and development studies, this book offers both theoretical depth and practical insights. It is an essential resource for understanding social welfare development in resource-rich states, offering valuable insights for both academic research and policy formulation in the Arab Gulf region and beyond.

The 14 chapters in this book address education policy as it is being implemented in three world regions, Africa, the Caribbean, and the Middle East. The diverse authors utilize original local data, interpreting it to describe policy development and implementation across a range of nations who share commonalities but also differences. The chapters begin with the premise that policy must respond to the needs of the citizenry and to the challenges faced by each society internally as well as globally. Meeting the challenge of frequently competing existing needs while addressing educational development to prepare for future needs, is an ongoing task for policymakers. The researchers authoring the book’s chapters are aware of competing challenges and of the need for frequent revision of educational policy as well as continuing support for its implementation. They base their conclusions and the implications offered on the data while taking into account the culture within which successful and appropriate policy must be implemented. The implications have relevance for any society in the world as diversity exists everywhere so all societies are experiencing challenges generated by our interdependence with each other.
