Kuwait A Country Study is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, politics, economy, and society of Kuwait. Written by the Federal Research Division, this book provides an in-depth analysis of Kuwait's geography, demographics, government, military, foreign relations, and more. It covers the country's history from the pre-Islamic period to the present day, including the impact of oil on the nation's development. The book also explores Kuwait's role in the Gulf War and its ongoing efforts to build a modern, diversified economy. With detailed maps, charts, and photographs, Kuwait A Country Study is an essential resource for anyone seeking to understand this important Middle Eastern nation.Foreign trade has always dominated Kuwait's economy. Before the discovery of oil, merchants developed large transshipment and reexport businesses that, along with the sale of pearls to foreign dealers, yielded a substantial part of the population's income. The discovery of large quantities of oil provided a new and increasingly important export because Kuwait needed only small amounts of oil products domestically.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
