Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between regional instability and the preservation of global security is nowhere more sensitive than in the Gulf. Events since the 1990-1991 Gulf War continue to confirm the fragile interaction among states in the region and their susceptibility to external forces. Gulf Security in the Twenty-First Century brings together some of the foremost area experts to explore the most pressing issues, including military threats to the region, obstacles to economic development and socioeconomic harmonization, and challenges to political stability. In particular, the work examines Iran’s often enigmatic foreign policy vis-à-vis its Gulf neighbors, Iraq’s resurgent military threat, choices and constraints confronting US Middle East policy, and Europe’s inability to identify and pursue a united policy to safeguard its economic interests in the area. These topics are further illuminated with an analysis of Russia’s historical attempt at balancing foreign policy objectives in the Gulf with its enduring interests in Central Asia. The potentially explosive issues of religious radicalism and the challenges of democratic pluralism are discussed in an effort to ascertain the potential of political Islam to disturb or enhance regional security. Similarly, the problems inhibiting the settlement of territorial disputes in and around the Gulf are brought into focus to illustrate lingering historical tensions among neighboring states. To round out the book’s topical coverage, several contributors shed light on the region’s unfettered dependence on foreign labor, growing demographic pressures, associated social and economic transformations, and challenges to responsive public policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the Persian Gulf region in the post-Cold War international environment. Each country in the region is discussed. Analysis of the individual countries includes among others, the political, social and economic systems of the nation in addition to its foreign policy in the post-Cold War international system. There is also an analysis of the new international system which has moved away from an ideological conflictive and competitive environment, based on the arms race, and zero-sum-game, to a system which is less hostile and multi-polar, although multi-polarity is confined more to the economic, technological and financial arenas. This book contends that the new global system remains hierarchical in that industrial developed countries reside on the top of the pyramid and the developing and underdeveloped countries are ranked below them.

Book excerpt: The interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq have fundamentally altered the balance of power in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the social, political, and economic challenges facing the region have continued to increase. The conflict over Iran's nuclear program and the escalating violence in Iraq have lent a new urgency to the search for regional stability. Actors from within the Persian Gulf region hold a key to finding it. The 132nd Bergedorf Round Table in Dubai therefore placed its greatest emphasis on regional approaches. Politicians and analysts from the Gulf region, the United States, and Europe analyzed possible paths toward political stability in the Persian Gulf, with the roles of economic growth and political reforms, as well as the connection between democratization and stabilization placed at the center of the discussions. Participants explored the relationships between modernization and identity, secularism and religion, traditional and Western ideas, and reform and external assistance. One focus of the conference was on security policy challenges. Participants forcefully debated the U. S.-led intervention in Iraq and the role of regional and external actors such as the United States, Europe, India, and China. The Iranian government's policies under President Mahmud Ahmadinejad and the Iranian nuclear program were highlighted in particular detail.

This book was released on 2009-11-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gregory Gause's masterful book is the first to offer a comprehensive account of the international politics in the Persian Gulf across nearly four decades. The story begins in 1971 when Great Britain ended its protectorate relations with the smaller states of the lower Gulf. It traces developments in the region from the oil 'revolution' of 1973–4 through the Iranian revolution, the Iran-Iraq war and the Gulf war of 1990–1 to the toppling of Saddam Hussein in the American-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, bringing the story of Gulf regional politics up to 2008. The book highlights transnational identity issues, regime security and the politics of the world oil market, and charts the changing mix of interests and ambitions driving American policy. The author brings his experience as a scholar and commentator on the Gulf to this riveting account of one of the most politically volatile regions on earth.
