Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. In recent decades, the culture, society, politics, and economics of Bahrain have been transformed, driving its global ambitions while retaining to a degree the rule of law and cosmopolitanism. Islam and Capitalism in the Making of Modern Bahrain examines the transformation of Bahrain from the 1930s, from a regional trading port and then an important oil producer into the financial hub for the Gulf and into a global centre of Islamic finance. It focuses onthe changes and tensions that transformation brought to Bahrain's political, legal, economic, religious, and social structures.In this book, Rajeswary Brown explores the rising force ofyouth populism driven by the persistence of poverty and unemployment, notably among rural Shi'ite communities and unemployed middle-class youth, as well as examining Bahrain's skillful reconciliation of the demands of Islamic faith, expressed in the Sharia, to the requirements of modern financial capitalism. In this, Bahrain's experience can be set against the modern history of much of the rest of the Middle East, most strikingly with respect to the position of Islamic charities, notably inSyria, comparisons of which are fully explored here. This book examines the liberation of the economy in Bahrain through market-led capitalism backed by Islamic charities. The vast economic transformation has fractured parts of society in Bahrain using foreign labour and the development of skilled professionals in the private sector which has impeded the investment in the local population.
