This book examines Gulf Security in a holistic way seeing past the
narrow military aspect and also trying to debunk the conventional
narratives propagated by regional and external actors. In
particular, the emphasis is be on the historical legacy of Gulf
security and the fundamental domestic and international
vulnerabilities of the various states in the region. This approach
proves important in light of the recent efforts by Gulf states to
recast their position in the international arena trying to peddle
an image of self-assertiveness and autonomy in the security sphere.
These new diplomatic stances do not seem to be borne out by their
current security policies that are marked by apparent continuity
with past practices. In particular, the new Gulf-Asia nexus and the
claims by Gulf monarchies that regional confidence building
measures are appearing on the horizon are placed under critical
scrutiny. This is done by a sobering examination of the balance of
threat in the region, the historical amity/enmity patterns and the
evolving American stance. A shorter, modified version of this book
was previously published as a special issue of the British Journal
of Middle Eastern Studies.
