    Monograph Series: The Shura Councils in the Gulf

    The ‘Shura Councils in the Gulf’ project gathered a distinguished group of scholars and specialists from within the region, equipped with the necessary methodological and comparative tools, to discuss and assess the role, function and performance of every one of the legislative/consultative chambers in the Gulf region. This project fills the gap in the literature regarding the legislative branch of political systems in the Middle East region and specifically the Gulf countries often disregarded by the scholarly publications due to the character of their political regimes.

    The case studies discussed in this series are Iran; Iraq (and Kurdistan); Saudi Arabia; Kuwait; Qatar; Bahrain; United Arab Emirates; Oman and Yemen.

    Coordinators

    Dr. Luciano Zaccara, Gulf Studies Center, Qatar University.

    Prof. Anoush Ehtheshami, Al Sabah Program, Durham University.
