The Persian Gulf has come to represent one of the most
strategically significant waterways of the world. In terms of
geography, geopolitics, resources, global political economy, and
regional influence, the Gulf is perhaps home to the world's most
significant group of countries. Focusing on the complexities of the
interplay between domestic-level changes and region-wide
interactions, this book presents the reader with the first
comprehensive survey of the dynamics of change in this crucial
area. Systemic-oriented in its approach, the impact of war and
revolution on the countries of the sub-region is discussed, and the
ways in which these factors have shaped the security dilemmas and
responses of the Gulf States is also explored. The role of oil is
examined in terms of the impact of its income on these states and
societies, and the manner in which oil has shaped the integration
of these states into the global system. Oil has shrunk
developmental time in these countries, and has accelerated
generational shift. At the same time, it has created the
dialectical relationship which now characterizes the difficult
balance between prosperity and instability which is at the heart of
the sub-region. Casting new light on the workings of a
strategically significant part of the international system, this
book will be an essential resource for students and scholars of
international relations, international security and Middle Eastern
politics.
