Description:
In this path-breaking study, Wanda Krause presents evidence of civil society emerging and in some dynamic ways in the Arab Gulf. She looks at the key role women play in the United Arab Emirates by analyzing women in government-run organizations, Islamic-oriented associations/Islamist groups, and women’s networks. Krause also expands the definition of civil society beyond its ‘western’ biases. In this endeavor, she incorporates indigenous forms of action and multitude forms of women’s agency. This book will benefit all those interested in the relationship between civil society and a wide array of subjects, such as gender, Islamism, human rights, development, feminism, governmentality, security, globalization, and social networks.
