journal contribution
posted on 19.06.2017, 13:49 authored by Gennaro ErrichielloThe modern migration pattern of international migration in the Arab Gulf States (AGSs) began to take shape with the discovery of oil

workers to the oil-producing countries of the AGSs. The historical approach of this article explains the impact that the early oil conces-
sions had on the migration patterns in the AGSs. The nationality clause provoked, not only a circulation of manpower from one
sheikhdom to another and international migration, but also created a segmentation of the labor market on the grounds of nationality
