In all of these states, however, the majority of the working population is composed of temporary, migrant workers with no citizenship rights. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe cheap and transitory labour power these workers provide has created the prodigious and extraordinary development boom across the region, and neighbouring countries are almost fully dependent on the labour markets of the Gulf to employ their working populations. For these reasons, the Gulf takes a central place in contemporary debates around migration and labour in the global economy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book attempts to bring together and explore these issues. The relationship between 'citizen' and 'non-citizen' holds immense significance for understanding the construction of class, gender, city and state in the Gulf, however too often these questions are occluded in too scholarly or overly-popular accounts of the region. Bringing together experts on the Gulf, \u003ci\u003eTransit States\u003c\/i\u003e confronts the precarious working conditions of migrants in a accessible, yet in-depth manner.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbdulhadi Khalaf\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in the Sociology department at Lund University.
