| Item Description: | De Gruyter Includes bibliographical references and index "Oil And Water, and the science and technology used to harness them, have long been at the heart of political authority in Saudi Arabia. Oil's abundance, and the fantastic wealth it generated, has been a keystone in the political primacy of the kingdom's ruling family. The other bedrock element was water, whose importance was measured by its dearth. Over much of the twentieth century, it teas through efforts to control and manage oil and water that the modern state of Saudi Arabia emerged." "The central government's power over water, space, and people expanded steadily over time, enabled by increasing oil revenues. The operations of the Arabian American Oil Company proved critical to expansion and to achieving power over the environment. Political authority in Saudi Arabia took shape through global networks of oil, science, and expertise. And, where oil and water were central to the forging of Saudi authoritarianism, they were also instrumental in shaping politics on the ground. Nowhere was the impact more profound than in the oil-rich Eastern Province, where the politics of oil and water led to a yearning for national belonging and to calls for revolution." "Saudi Arabia is traditionally viewed through the lenses of Islam, tribe, and the economics of oil. Desert Kingdom now provides an alternative history of environmental power and the making of the modern Saudi stare. It demonstrates how vital the exploitation of nature and the roles of science and global experts were to the consolidation of political authority in the desert."--BOOK JACKET. |

Harvard University Press 2010 1 Online-Ressource (312 p.) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier De Gruyter Includes bibliographical references and index "Oil And Water, and the science and technology used to harness them, have long been at the heart of political authority in Saudi Arabia. Oil's abundance, and the fantastic wealth it generated, has been a keystone in the political primacy of the kingdom's ruling family. The other bedrock element was water, whose importance was measured by its dearth. Over much of the twentieth century, it teas through efforts to control and manage oil and water that the modern state of Saudi Arabia emerged." "The central government's power over water, space, and people expanded steadily over time, enabled by increasing oil revenues. The operations of the Arabian American Oil Company proved critical to expansion and to achieving power over the environment. Political authority in Saudi Arabia took shape through global networks of oil, science, and expertise. And, where oil and water were central to the forging of Saudi authoritarianism, they were also instrumental in shaping politics on the ground. Nowhere was the impact more profound than in the oil-rich Eastern Province, where the politics of oil and water led to a yearning for national belonging and to calls for revolution." "Saudi Arabia is traditionally viewed through the lenses of Islam, tribe, and the economics of oil. Desert Kingdom now provides an alternative history of environmental power and the making of the modern Saudi stare. It demonstrates how vital the exploitation of nature and the roles of science and global experts were to the consolidation of political authority in the desert."--BOOK JACKET. 1900 - 1999 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 HISTORY / Middle East / General bisacsh HISTORY / General bisacsh Natural resources / Government policy fast Petroleum industry and trade / Government policy fast Politics and government fast Water resources development / Government policy fast Water / Government policy fast Geschichte Politik Natural resources Government policy Saudi Arabia History 20th century Petroleum industry and trade Government policy Saudi Arabia History 20th century Water resources development Government policy Saudi Arabia History 20th century Water Government policy Saudi Arabia History 20th century Wasser (DE-588)4064689-0 gnd rswk-swf Ressourcenmanagement (DE-588)4431979-4 gnd rswk-swf Erdöl (DE-588)4015179-7 gnd rswk-swf Erdölpolitik (DE-588)4015193-1 gnd rswk-swf Wasserreserve (DE-588)4124439-4 gnd rswk-swf Naher Osten Saudi-Arabien (DE-588)4051788-3 gnd rswk-swf Saudi-Arabien (DE-588)4051788-3 g Erdöl (DE-588)4015179-7 s Wasser (DE-588)4064689-0 s Ressourcenmanagement (DE-588)4431979-4 s 1\p DE-604 Wasserreserve (DE-588)4124439-4 s Erdölpolitik (DE-588)4015193-1 s 2\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.4159/9780674059405 Verlag Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
