It argues that except for Iran, no regional or extra-regional actors, including the United States, China, India and Russia, have developed a strategy for Persian Gulf security, and only Turkey has expressed a willingness to provide security for the region. Importantly, the major threats to Persian Gulf security are nonconventional, rather than external, threats to Iranian hegemony or the balance of power. In conclusion, it predicts that the power struggle in the Persian Gulf in the coming decades will be between Iran and Turkey, and not between Iran and Saudi Arabia. This book is of interest to diplomats, journalists, international affairs specialists, strategists and scholars of Gulf politics and security and defence studies.Middle East TodayNational securityMiddle EastInternational relationsGeopoliticsMiddle EastNational securityInternational relations.Geopolitics355.033056320Arafat Alaa Al-Dinauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut863811MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910392747103321Regional and International Powers in the Gulf Security2511366UNINA
