External security environment of the GCC region
Original language description
The GCC area is part of the Middle East, one of the most turbulent regions, characterized also by conflicts, internationalized civil wars, fragile states, and subversive activities of non-state actors. Regional developments have a potential to influence the Gulf security environment. The objective of this paper is to assess the external security environment of the GCC region with a particular focus on external threats and opportunities and their implications on the security and stability of the Gulf monarchies. Four major threats are discussed: the US withdrawal from the region, regional instability, fluctuations in oil prices, and climate change. These threats may endanger not only the energy security but also the domestic stability of the Gulf monarchies. At the same time, given a similar threat assessment, an opportunity of normalizing relations with Israel has emerged for the GCC states. The paper argues that the GCC states could ultimately mitigate certain threats by grasping some opportunities that emerge on their background.
