Small states are often believed to have been resigned to the
margins of international politics. However, the recent increase in
the number of small states has increased their influence and forced
the international community to incorporate some of them into the
global governance system. This is particularly evident in the
Middle East where small Gulf states have played an important role
in the changing dynamics of the region in the last decade. The
Small Gulf States analyses the evolution of these states' foreign
and security policies since the Arab Spring. With particular focus
on Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, it explores how these
states have been successful in not only guaranteeing their
survival, but also in increasing their influence in the region. It
then discusses the security dilemmas small states face, and
suggests a multitude of foreign and security policy options,
ranging from autonomy to influence, in order to deal with this. The
book also looks at the influence of regional and international
actors on the policies of these countries. It concludes with a
discussion of the peculiarities and contributions of the Gulf
states for the study of small states' foreign and security policies
in general. Providing a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of
the unique foreign and security policies of the states of the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) before and after the Arab Spring, this
book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of
Middle East studies, foreign policy and international relations.
