- W152885232 abstract "Economic development based on oil export has produced a pattern of autocratic family regimes sustained by the large scale import of technology, capital and labour. Family monopoly control over the state, bureaucratic and military apparatus has been reinforced by close economic and political alliances with the Western states. These family autocracies, among which are some of the wealthiest states in the world measured by per-capita income have sought to protect themselves against the impact of massive social change and population growth by attempting to preserve a political and cultural integrity which celebrates an indigenous culture and distinct national identity. Wealth, far from being the basis for political and economic integration of the Arab states, has generated strategies of defence of privilege based on the segregation of those who are entitled to share the wealth as citizens from those who are legally regarded as merely sojourners.

Family monopoly control over the state, bureaucratic and military apparatus has been reinforced by close economic and political alliances with the Western states. These family autocracies, among which are some of the wealthiest states in the world measured by per-capita income have sought to protect themselves against the impact of massive social change and population growth by attempting to preserve a political and cultural integrity which celebrates an indigenous culture and distinct national identity. Wealth, far from being the basis for political and economic integration of the Arab states, has generated strategies of defence of privilege based on the segregation of those who are entitled to share the wealth as citizens from those who are legally regarded as merely so journers. The political strategy of circumscribing privilege through citizenship laws and promoting the ‘indigenisation’ of the workforce to reduce the need for foreign workers hides the social reality that many foreign workers are likely to become residents and that the need to recruit foreign labour will continue. Demographic patterns amongst long-term temporary residents suggest that a large proportion will eventually become citizens while growth in the service industry has created demands for labour which will have to be met by continual recruitment of temporary labour. Immigration and labour policy has become entangled in the poli tics of legitimacy of autocratic family states. The privileged patterns of consumption, social mobility, services and economic security for the indigenous population has been provided for by the state making available cheap and temporary foreign workers who are excluded from these benefits. While non-national skilled and professionalworkers may share in the lifestyle and salaries, their orientation and social trajectory is divided between investment in strategies for mobility and class security between their country of origin and country of residence. For the non-national Palestinian migrants the issue of social trajectory and future orientations is compounded by either their legal or political position in the host or occupied societies in which they are resident. They, the unskilled and low paid as well as the professional and highly paid, confront the double dilemma of how to secure the social and economic advantage achieved in the host country in either their original place of residence or a third country." @default.
