Book Synopsis

Feiler (Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies, Bar Ilan U., Israel) explores the interactions between economic and political relations between Egypt and richer, oil-producing Arab states. Of particular concern is the extent to which economic relations reinforced political relations. He explores such topics as the role of the Egyptian worker in the Gulf states and their influence on policy, the relationship of these workers' movements to the growth or decline of pan-Arab sentiments, and the influence of Arab aid to Egypt in the peace process with Israel and Egypt's renunciation of an independent foreign policy.
