Abstract:

The book explores eleven debates held at the Bahraini Council of
Representatives (or the Parliament) over 2007-2010 to comprehend how
parliamentary discourse contributes towards identity formation within Bahraini
society. Within the framework of critical discourse studies, the book traces
the ideological struggle over power in the linguistic content of legislative
discourse through a range of discursive strategies and devices.

The authors contend that the discursive choices across the political spectrum
in the legislative debates reflected strong sectarian characteristics which
contained in it the seeds of political unrest of 2011, the so-called ‘Arab
Spring’ of Bahrain. Parliamentary rhetoric and its resonance in the public
sphere, the authors argue, revealed the underlying contradictions in Bahraini
society. The book highlights the significance of legislative discourse as a
platform of social cohesion, and its instability being symptomatic of
contradictions within society.
