Economic and Political Pathology of Rentier States in the Middle East (Bahrain Case Study)

The present study, focusing on Bahrain, seeks to pathologize the government economically and politically by utilizing Hussein Mahdavi's theory of vulnerability of the structure of rentier governments. This study has sought to seek economic and political pathology through a case study of Bahrain as a rentier government. This pathology will help determine what challenges the economic and political arena faces because of dependence on oil revenues, to what extent it has stabilized, and the extent to which it has voiced them? The research method was descriptive-analytical, and the findings of the present study showed that Bahrain is an economic aspect of its counterparts, with the experience that comes from successful countries, the only way out of these countries to construct the crises ahead of them. The management of this revenue is aimed at developing their economic and political infrastructure. In principle, it can be said that oil is just a natural substance, and the only thing that has made the oil countries have such an attitude is how to manage revenues, and the proper and optimal use of these incomes not only cannot leave resources and lead to backwardness and poverty but also these revenues can provide the development and development of countries.
