New Book On Qatar Adds to Understanding of Region

High-Quality Scholarship 

about Qatar

In May 2019, Nova Science Publishers published Qatar: Political, Economic, and Social Issues (Haitham M. Alkhateeb ed.).  The book covers political, economic, and social issues as the name suggests.

Chapters 2 to 6 feature my analysis of the Qatari response to the blockade by four neighboring countries - Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt.

The book is available from Amazon in hard copy and from libraries in digital format.

The Table of Contents, set out below, shows its broad coverage.
