Toward A NATO of The Gulf? The Challenges of Collective Defense Within The GCC

More about the book

The Gulf Arab kingdoms have transitioned from passive participants to assertive players in regional politics, actively engaging in diplomacy and military actions. This shift raises questions about the potential for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) to evolve into a credible organization capable of enforcing collective security in the region. Historically viewed as unlikely, this development could reshape U.S. national security strategies, as the stability of the Gulf remains a critical concern for American interests.
