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. 410 0$aMiddle East Today 606 $aNational security$zMiddle East 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aGeopolitics$zMiddle East 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aGeopolitics 676 $a355.033056 676 $a320 700 $aArafat$b Alaa Al-Din$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0863811 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910392747103321 996 $aRegional and International Powers in the Gulf Security$92511366 997 $aUNINA
