Bahrain's Surviving Dynasty

The Al Khalifa of Bahrain is a long-standing dynasty that has established dispute resolution measures to overcome intra-tribal ambitions for power and wealth, replacing extra-constitutional rulership succession with primogeniture. Since their control over Bahrain began in 1783 until the British withdrawal from the Gulf in 1971, the Al Khalifa introduced 10 senior ruling shaykhs, 7 of whom experienced turbulent successions, and faced in-house rivalries and power-seeking disputes.
