Foreign Relations of the GCC Countries

This book examines the foreign policies of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries six years after the Arab uprisings, in terms of drivers, narratives, actions and outcomes, paying particular attention to Middle Eastern countries, Iran and Western international powers. The assessment focuses on current affairs, but also contributes to establishing a productive link between empirical studies and the existing theoretical frameworks that help explain the increasing foreign policy activism of the GCC countries. All in all, the articles collected in this book shed light on and provide a more solid and fine-grained understanding of how regional powers such as Saudi Arabia, as well as the other smaller GCC countries, act and pursue their interests in an environment full of uncertainty, in the context of changing regional and global dynamics and power distribution.

The book brings together the articles published in a special issue of The International Spectator.

Eman Ragab is Senior Researcher in Regional Security in the Middle East, Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies, Cairo, Egypt. She is also an Adjunct Professor of political science at the American University in Cairo, Egypt.

Silvia Colombo is Senior Fellow at Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), Italy.
