For Gulf Arab monarchies, the choice of security partner is made more complicated by increased domestic and regional instability stemming in part from Iraq, Syria, and a menacing Iran: factors that threaten to alter totally the Middle East security dynamic. Understanding the dynamics of base politicization in a Gulf host nation—or any other—is therefore vitally important for the U.S. today. Gulf National Security and the U.S. Military examines both Gulf Arab national security and U.S. military basing relations with Gulf Arab monarchy hosts from the Second World War to the present day. Three in-depth country cases—Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Oman—help explain the important questions posed by the author regarding when and why a host nation either terminated a U.S. military basing presence or granted U.S. military basing access. The analysis of the cases offers a fresh perspective on how the United States has adapted to sometimes rapidly shifting Middle East security dynamics and factors that influence a host nation's preference for eviction or renegotiation, based on its perception of internal versus external threats.Stanford security studies.National securityPersian Gulf StatesNational securityArabian PeninsulaMilitary bases, AmericanPersian Gulf StatesMilitary bases, AmericanArabian PeninsulaPersian Gulf StatesMilitary relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsPersian Gulf StatesArabian PeninsulaMilitary relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsArabian PeninsulaNational securityNational securityMilitary bases, AmericanMilitary bases, American355/.0330536Gresh Geoffrey F.1979-1477615MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797174003321Gulf security and the U.S. military3692846UNINA
