This book examines changes in the Persian Gulf security complex
following the United States (US) invasion of Iraq in 2003, focusing
on threats to the collective identities of two religious sects -
Shia and Sunni. Although there is a growing body of literature
examining security in the Persian Gulf, little focus has been given
to the theoretical and methodological aspects of the problem. In
this volume, Shayan analyses the causes behind the security changes
which occurred in the region since 2003 and demonstrates how
regional security dynamics are interlinked to perceived sectarian
threats on the Shia and Sunni religious identities. This text is
essential reading for political scientists, policy makers and
scholars of international relations.

The Gas Troika on the European Gas Market assesses the energy
policy of the Gas Troika Organization (GTO) as an entity and its
members, Russia, Iran and Qatar, operating in the European gas
market (EGM) between 2008 and 2015. The book focuses on their
interests, policies and frameworks, and the enabling and
constraining factors they encounter in the European market. The
energy policies of the GTO members are discussed in the context of
extraction and distribution of natural gas, its export to the
European countries and the environmental side-effects of these
contracts. The important questions examined in this pioneering
study are: How do the GTO members develop their interests and
energy policies in the European environment? How do the common
interests and policies of the GTO members explain the framework of
the organization in the EGM? How is this organization perceived and
assessed as a semi-coherent regional entity? The book applies a
social structuration theoretical framework with respect to
geographical resources, economy, international relations and
environmental dimensions to provide a multi-disciplinary
assessment. Researchers in energy economics and political sciences,
as well as energy analysts and consultants will find this book to
be extremely beneficial.
