Although the stability of the Persian Gulf region has been of
rising importance since World War II, it was during the 1980s, when
the Iran-Iraq War threatened to upset the balance of power in the
region, that its importance became even more magnified. This
collection of essays surveys the current state of that region,
placing into clearer perspective the political, security, and
diplomatic dimensions of the recently ended war. By reevaluating
the political landscape of the Gulf, the book produces a gauge for
better assessing those factors and forces that affected the
conflict's outcome and that will continue to influence future
political and security developments in the region. The volume
begins with an introduction by the editor that examines the
geography of the Gulf and the primary geopolitical factors that
influenced perceptions of the region during the war. The essays are
then divided into two sections covering Strategic and Political
Dimensions and Diplomatic and Legal Dimensions. Topics covered in
the first section include the roots of the crisis, Soviet, Israeli
and Arab Gulf states' interests in the conflict, U.S. policy in the
region, and the role of U.S. military forces. Section two discusses
the reflagging of Kuwaiti tankers, the United Nations' involvement,
and the cease-fire negotiations. The book concludes with a selected
bibliography and an index. This study will be an important resource
for courses in political science, diplomacy, and Mid-East history,
as well as a significant addition to both public and university
libraries.
