  • INTRODUCTION History of Bharain the History of Bahrain Has Been
    INTRODUCTION History of Bharain The history of Bahrain has been traced back 5,000 years to Sumerian times. K nown as Dilmun, Bahrain was athriving trade center around 2000 bc; the islands were visited by the ships of Alexander the reat in the third century bc. Bahrain accepted Islam in the 7th century ad, after which it was ruled alternat- ely by its own princes and by thecaliphs' governors. The ortuguese occupied Bahrain fro m 1522 to 1602. The present ruling family, the Khalifa, whoare relatd to the Sabah famil y of uwait and the Saudi royal family, captured Bahrain in 1782. Following an in 1805, the ruler of Bahrain signed the first treaty with Britain in 1820. A binding treaty of protection, similarto those with other ersian ulf principalities, was concl uded in 1861 and revised in 1892 and 1951. After orld arII, Britain maintained at Bahrain its headquarters for treaty affairs in the low er ulf. Claims to Bahrain pressed byIran were abandoned in 1971 after a mission ascert ained that the Bahrainis wished to remain independent of that nation. Organizations are frequently difficult latest running trends and statement, fast change of technology, new policy, environment and public aspects. Attitude affects behavior and attitudes of employees mostly concerned with job satisfaction, job involvement, and organizational commitment. Many researchers found that Job satisfaction, Environment, pay, work place, and change in technology all of these are main factors that influences employee’s behavior in any organization. (Igalens and Roussel, 1999). Employee satisfaction relays on interpersonal skills, work place, pay, promotions, and relations with co-workers.

  • Introduction Political Repression in Bahrain in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-47143-5 — Political Repression in Bahrain Marc Jones Excerpt More Information Introduction Political Repression in Bahrain in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Shaikh Abdulla [Al Khalifa]’s servants abducted a girl, a native of Fars. Her parents after searching for her for some time returned home and left behind one Muhammad Abdulla to continue the search. He discovered that she was being kept by Shaik Abdulla. The latter then passed her on to an Arab of Zallaq, receiving Rs. 400. Muhammad Abdulla on behalf of the parents made efforts to recover the girl. He did so on payment of Rs. 500 and on condition that he himself married her. She was pregnant and subsequently died in childbirth.1 —C. K. Daly, 1921 The abduction, trafficking and subsequent tragic death of a young Bahraini girl by a member of the Al Khalifa ruling family in the 1920s is a potent example of the historical continuity of repression and social injustice in Bahrain. Far from being an isolated incident, or simply a criminal act, the kidnap was a facet of what Bahraini sociologist Abdul- hadi Khalaf calls the Al Khalifa’s ‘legacy of conquest’. The Al Khalifa ruling family conquered the small Persian Gulf island of Bahrain in 1783, establishing a form of settler colonialism that subjugated the indigenous bahārna2 population. This settler colonial rule included _ a conquering mindset, whereby the ruling Al Khalifa family treated Bahrain’sresources,subjectsandlandsastheirrightfulpropertyand inheritance. From the correspondence of British East India Company officials to contemporary reports published by NGOs such as the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights and the testimonies of Bahrainis, the extent of the injustice stemming from this legacy of conquest has been documented, in its varying forms, for almost 200 years.

  • Socio-Political and Economic Issues In
    Arab Spring and the Resilience of Arab Monarchies: the Case of Bahrain By Anar Abdullayev Submitted to Central European University Department of International Relations European Studies In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisor: Professor Thomas Fetzer Word Count: 13, 535 CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary May, 2012 ABSTRACT It is generally acknowledged that Arab monarchies have been more resilient to regime change than the Arab republics in the Arab Spring context. I study Bahrain as a critical case of the Arab Spring. Thus, the resilience of Arab Gulf monarchies is usually explained through monarchical legitimacy, rentier state, and alliance building theories. In my thesis I have put to test the three theories and have found that the theory of monarchical legitimacy is the least plausible in terms of explaining the regime stability in Bahrain. This result is achieved through the analysis of opposition narratives which are divided into economic and political demands. Meanwhile, the other two theories maintain a stronger explanatory power.
