Summary:The Gulf is one of the most important and strategically-vital regions in the world, yet is one infused with many challenges, and one in which intra-regional linkages are so important to the balance of security--a recognition which underpins the basic rationale for the establishment of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The GCC is both a continuation of old prevailing realities, and a practical response to the security and economic challenges in the region. Here, Al Khalifa discusses the underlying connections between the internal and external challenges and threats, and the necessity of incorporating Gulf security within a broad comprehensive regional picture.
