Popular Rentierism and Tourism Development in Kuwait Cody Morris Paris School of Law Middlesex University Dubai and Simon Rubin Freelance Tourism Researcher ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges facing tourism development in Kuwait due to the particularly unique political-economic system of ‘popular’ rentierism. Kuwait’s tourism industry is relatively underdeveloped in comparison to other GCC countries and has not received much attention in the academic tourism literature. While insights of from this study will be useful for understanding the role of tourism in the rentier economies, this paper will also help to further theorize tourism within the field of political science and international political economy. This study provides both a macro-level analysis of the political economic obstacles to tourism development in Kuwait and the more micro-level challenges that have resulted, particularly in relation to mega-development projects, such as the $3.3 billion dollar Failaka Island development.

The primary focus of the research is to contribute to the literature, currently lacking, that discusses the phenomenon of female leadership development in the State of Kuwait. Recently, the number of Kuwaiti females seeking leadership positions has been increasing in governmental and non-governmental organizations. This development has its challenges, given some of the barriers that exist relative to some aspects of Kuwaiti culture, gender roles, and people’s perceptions about female leaders. Within a qualitative design approach and narrative inquiry methodology, I interviewed 5 Kuwaiti females who shared their stories about their personal and professional experiences about the interactions between culture, gender, and leadership.
