The book offers an in-depth analysis of the Persian Gulf during a transformative period marked by the emergence of European trading empires. It highlights the strategic manipulation of European administrative systems by local elites and explores the governance of key ports. Drawing from diverse sources, including rare archival material, it illustrates the Gulf's integration into the Indian Ocean trade network while emphasizing the distinct political economies of major ports like Hormuz and Basra. The work also challenges misconceptions about European influence and trade dynamics in the region.
