This article argues that in the Gulf, contrary to other regions of the world, the necessity to control mass migrations preceded the official establishment of definitive borders and state structures. It then shows that this very sequencing, compounded with the issue of oil revenues' distribution, affected the forms of movement control that were opted for, as well as the types of nationality issues that derived from it.
