We recorded this episode in the middle of one of the most consequential moments in the history of this region. In this episode, we ask the question on everyone’s mind: “Do the Gulf States Have a Future?” Not in the next news cycle, but in the next generation.
We look at what the current war on Iran has exposed: the structural fragilities of these states, their rentier economies, their tiny citizen populations, and their deep dependence on migrant labour.
And we talk about why states under duress don’t reform – they just become more of what they already are. Also, if you’re watching this on YouTube – KULNA is our new editorial platform for longform thinking about power, resistance, and what comes next. Visit the link below to support us: kulna.co
