He is Senior Associate Fellow at the King Faisal Center for Research and Islamic Studies in Riyadh. His publications include Saudi Arabia and the Path to Political Change: National Dialogue and Civil Society (I.B.Tauris, 2014) and articles in the Journal of Arabian Studies; Asian Affairs; Middle Eastern Studies; and Diplomacy and Statecraft.

Neil Quilliam is Senior Research Fellow in the Middle East and North Africa Programme at Chatham House, The Royal Institute of International Affairs, London. He also serves as Director for Strategic Advisory Services at Rapidan Group, an energy consultancy. Quilliam is an expert in international relations of the Middle East and focuses on the Gulf Arab states, Syria and Lebanon. Recent publications include a contribution to the book Saudi Arabian Foreign Policy: Conflict and Cooperation (I.B.Tauris, 2016) and an article in the journal East Asia (2015). He advises European governments on foreign policy issues and energy companies with operations in the region.

This is an important book, covering a range of issues which are seldom given detailed attention or analysis in other literature. Its concerns are central to how GCC governments engage with their populations. For those seeking to understand the dynamics of GCC governance, in all its diverse dimensions, this work should be required reading.

Tim Niblock, Emeritus Professor, Institute of Arab and Islamic Studies, University of Exeter

With domestic and regional power structures in the Gulf in a state of flux, this important and timely work mixes thematic issues with country specific case studies and will appeal to scholars and policy makers alike.
