Political change in the Arab Gulf States : stuck in transition by Mary Ann Tétreault( )

14 editions published between 2011 and 2014 in English and held by 942 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Although reform movements have been prominent in varying degrees in most Middle Eastern countries for some time, the cascade of events following the overthrow of Saddam Hussein has generated new pressures for democratization throughout the Arab World. Political Change in the Arab Gulf States explores the politics influencing the volatile situation in the region, as well as specific measures devised by regimes in power to adjust to the challenges of the current environment. The authors first focus on the politics of seven Gulf states: Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. They then consider four forces that are shaping current political attitudes and behavior across the region: movements to broaden womenʹs political participation, the media, current US national security policy, and regional defense cooperation. The result is an up-to-date assessment of the prospects for political reform in the Gulf and an important corrective to a simplistic domino theory of democratization. -- Publisher description

Hugh Gibson and a controversy over Polish-Jewish relations after World War I : a documentary history by Andrzej Kapiszewski( Book )

7 editions published in 1991 in English and held by 59 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Presents documents describing the activities of the first American ambassador in independent Poland, Hugh Gibson, in the period of the Paris Peace Conference, and documents on the Minorities Treaty, against the background of tension between the Polish and Jewish communities in the U.S. related to the situation of the Jews in Poland. Jewish American circles (led by Louis Marshall) considered Gibson an antisemite who distorted the facts in favor of the Poles. Deals also with Morgenthau's mission; he was sent to Poland by the American government to investigate the situation of the Jews. Analyzing documents and Gibson's diary, concludes that although he lacked understanding of the extent of antisemitism in Poland and of its possible consequences, it is difficult to accept the thesis of his antisemitism
