The Foreign Policies of the Gulf Cooperation Council, Gebunden

Klappentext

**What are the key drivers of GCC foreign policies in the twenty-first century?**Previous studies have traced the foreign policies of individual Gulf states - specifically Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This is the first volume to cover all six states and to take account of both regional and global challenges that shape how foreign policies are made. These include major changes and events such as the Arab Spring, the GCC Crisis, US-China rivalry, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the War on Gaza. The different country experts explain here how the states differ from each other in their foreign policies and how each state interacts with regional powers, such as Iran, Israel and Turkey, and global powers, such as the United States, China and the European Union. The book also benefits from a multidisciplinary perspective, comprising the leading scholars in international relations, political science, economics, conflict resolution and security studies. A comprehensive account, this is the go-to resource for professors, policymakers and students wanting to understand the drivers of GCC foreign policies.
