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. 410 0$aStanford security studies. 606 $aNational security$zPersian Gulf States 606 $aNational security$zArabian Peninsula 606 $aMilitary bases, American$zPersian Gulf States 606 $aMilitary bases, American$zArabian Peninsula 607 $aPersian Gulf States$xMilitary relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary relations$zPersian Gulf States 607 $aArabian Peninsula$xMilitary relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary relations$zArabian Peninsula 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aNational security 615 0$aMilitary bases, American 615 0$aMilitary bases, American 676 $a355/.0330536 700 $aGresh$b Geoffrey F.$f1979-$01032363 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460630403321 996 $aGulf security and the U.S. military$92450166 997 $aUNINA
