John Slight’s article in War and Society

Dr. John Slight, Lecturer in Modern History, has published ‘Global war and its impact on the Gulf States of Kuwait and Bahrain, 1914-1918’ in War and Society. The article provides the first detailed analysis of the Gulf States of Kuwait and Bahrain during the First World War. It argues that the war had a disruptive effect on these states’ politics, societies, economies and trans-regional networks. As well as writing the wartime experiences of Kuwait and Bahrain into the conflict’s global history, it aids our understanding of the effects of world-wide conflict on states which are not major belligerent powers.
