Two things were made especially apparent by the invasion by Iraq of Kuwait in August 1990. In the first place, the region has again shown itself to be politically volatile, and there is no compelling reason to suppose that this will not potentially remain the case. In the second place, it has been forcefully demonstrated that the world cannot, or will not, ignore the Gulf: the area is at the heart of a sensitive global web of intertwined economic and strategic interests. This book, however, is not intended as an essay on the problems between Iraq and Kuwait. It has to do with something quite different and more fundamental - the interests enjoyed by the rest of the world in the small Gulf region.

The discovery of oil in the Gulf revolutionised its social and economic relationship with the West. This book provides a broad overview of foreign policy imperatives, an examination of three of the most important issues - the Iran-Iraq war, OPEC, socio-political extremism - and finally a closer inspection of three of the key players in that area: Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

For centuries, the Arabian Gulf has been a crossroads where seafaring people and Bedouins alike travelled great distances transacting business. Events of the past few years, both good and bad, have directed the world’s attention to the Arabian Peninsula, where a rich cultural tradition is rapidly incorporating the latest innovations from around the world. This is the process of globalization. New economies create enormous potential, but it will require great care for the people of the region to steer through a period of profound change. Political and economic interests intent on maintaining the flow of petroleum products on one hand, and people in the Gulf region who assess their won interests from quite a different perspective, on the other, exert pressures from conflicting directions. Reconciling these interests in a time of rapid globalization poses enormous challenges. This timely volume brings together the work of scholars from both the Middle East and the West who have the expertise to evaluate the interaction of new ideas, new technologies and new economies. Brought together by the American University of Sharjah and the Sociological Association of the UAE, the contributors reflect on both the process of globalism and on the traditions of Gulf society and culture, offering views on how these trends interact within the global system.

Major powers have long pursued their interests across the Arabian Gulf region, particularly since the discovery of oil. By virtue of their power and influence in world affairs and in international forums, the interests of Russia, France, Germany, the United States, and Britain are especially notable in the region. This publication seeks to consider the various interests of these states in terms of Arabian Gulf's security, energy, social development, commerce and trade, as well as the region's role in the war against international terrorism. Undoubtedly, the strategic importance of the region lies in its vast capacity to fulfill global energy requirements by supplying oil at lower prices than any other oil-producing region. This invokes the adage that when it comes to foreign policy, states have no true allies, only interests. The present day dynamics of the Gulf region clearly demonstrate this dictum. Moreover, international interest in the region has increased substantially in the wake of the cataclysmic events of September 11, 2001, and the subsequent terrorist attacks attributed to the al-Qaeda organization and its affiliates, which, in large degree, stem from the Middle East. This fact has brought an unwanted focus on the internal dynamics of several states throughout the region. Regional security for oil production and supply, on the one hand, and political transformation and human development, on the other, are the driving forces behind the involvement of influential international players in the region. The vehicle to achieve these goals has increasingly been seen by the five principle powers as the promotion of internal political reform in several of the region's oil-producing states. The future stability and development of the Gulf region is of the utmost concern to the United States, Britain, Russia, Germany, and France. As the contributing authors relate, the region is important for a variety of reasons, and not one of the five powers adopted a laissez-faire approach. For each, the need for energy security and the reduction of the threat of terrorism emanating from the region cannot be underscored, whether set in the context of direct national interests or in the context of international economic, political, and security relations.

The six Arab Gulf States (AGS) comprising Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are universally recognized as a distinct group of states. These states have developed their own distinct socio-economic features, regional concerns and political priorities that are relatively independent of the rest of the Arab World. More important, these states have acquired over the last 30 years, a unique international prominence. However, despite their global significance, the AGS are either little understood or even grossly misunderstood by the outside world.The central purpose of this analysis is to provide answers to some key questions such as: Why is it important to study the AGS? How do we best approach and analyze them? What are their unique characteristics? How did they acquire such an imposing strategic value? The author discusses among other aspects, three compelling reasons and three different approaches to assess the AGS. The study examines the changing national, regional and international developments affecting these states and the rationale behind their strategic and economic importance, concluding that the conventional oil-dominated approaches to the AGS do not adequately reflect their individual complexities and current realities.

As a cultural centre for Islamic interests across the world and as a focus point for increasing levels of economic and security interdependence, the Middle East remains a stage on which international politics will be played for the foreseeable future. This comprehensive study looks at the important international and regional actors and their interaction with, and reaction to, US foreign policy toward the region. The volume elucidates the trends in great power interest and interaction in the Middle East and studies the impact of the United States as the region's foremost military power. It highlights the changing nature of actors' relationships with the US and each other as their interests and policies evolve in response to changes in the region. Scholars, graduate and undergraduate students and the interested public will find this volume a useful guide and an ideal companion work for courses on the Middle East, US foreign policy and international security issues.

This book, first published in 1988, compiles selected contributions to a symposium on ‘The Gulf and the Arab World’ held by the Centre for Arab Gulf Studies at Exeter University, UK, in July 1986. The historical perspective was considered to be a prerequisite for focusing on modern developments, and two chapters are devoted to the coming of both the Arabs and Islam to the Gulf, and a further chapter examines the role of the Ottoman Empire in the region. The remaining chapters concentrate on recent interaction under the broad headings of political and socio-political affairs, demographic aspects, financial interchange and questions of security. A large part of the book is devoted to detailed analysis of the main factor in Arab Gulf/Arab world relations: the huge flow, in one direction, of Arab migratory manpower and, in the reverse direction, of Gulf financing and workers’ remittances.

The research papers contained within this book, which were presented at the ECSSR’s 20th Annual Conference, serve to shed light on the crucial events that have transpired throughout the Middle East and to provide a foundation for critical discussion and conscious interaction. Furthermore, these papers present initiatives that aim to contain the region’s crises and to formulate corresponding solutions. The book aims to follow the profound transformations and violent tremors that threaten to reorder the region’s political map. The paradoxical nature of the conflicts in the region, with complexities that are deemed to be strategically focused within the international realm, is considered as a source of constant political tension on the regional level. Within this context, the chapters of the book examine the standing of the international anti-terrorism coalition and the challenges it faces, alongside the concept of the nation-state in the Arab World and the confrontation with non-state actors. The book also diagnoses the sectarian and religious polarization that rips the region apart and the dimensions of international competition over the region. Moreover, the chapters of the book explore the horizons of possible reliance on China’s role in stabilizing regional and international balances. The functions of Arab collective action and their developments are also examined, as well as joint-Arab relations and their future outlook. Through its depiction of the current political and strategic landscape within the region, The Middle East: Shifting Roles, Interests and Alliances attempts to convey the needs of the region by shedding light on the nature of its divisions and paradoxes—while also placing the context of current shifts within the tactical and strategic plans of regional and international players. As such, the subsequent potential repercussions that may impact security are analyzed, alongside the developmental requirements for the region and the world at large.
