This book examines major conflicts and cooperation patterns in the Persian Gulf region over recent decades. Through case‑studies such as the Iran–Iraq War, the Gulf War (Iraq–Kuwait conflict), regional stabilization efforts in the mid‑1990s, and the impact of Islamist terrorism, the author explores how Gulf states navigate rivalry, security threats, and inter‑state cooperation. The work analyzes the interplay between regional power asymmetries, oil‑economy dynamics, external influences, and internal politics — offering a nuanced empirical account of why and how states inside the Gulf oscillate between conflict and cooperation.
