045 - Will The Gulf States Make It?

045 - Will The Gulf States Make It?

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
