NATO: Origin, Legal Adaptation, and Roles" -- Chapter 2. Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI) (2004) -- Chapter 3. NATO's Role towards Gulf States' Regional Security threats -- Chapter 4. Obstacles Hindering Cooperation between NATO and the Gulf Countries.This book analyses the fifteen-year-long strategic partnership between NATO and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). The book goes on to address several key questions raised in the year since the inception of the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative (ICI): Is the initiative a framework for consultation on Gulf and regional security issues? Is it a security initiative or a defensive one? Even more importantly, how was this initiative developed? Was there a mutual eagerness, on the part of NATO or that of the four Gulf States, to develop it? Is it possible for the initiative to be redeveloped and have other dimensions and outlooks in the future? Throughout the book, the author provides a comprehensive understanding and assessment of NATO's policies and their impact on the security of the Arab Gulf region.Security, InternationalPersian Gulf RegionSecurity, International355.0330536Kishk Ashraf Mohammad1219165MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495180903321NATO and the Gulf countries2819219UNINA
