Mehran Kamrava identifies the four dynamics as: the neglect of human dimensions of security, the inherent instability involved in reliance on the United States and the exclusion of Iraq and Iran, the international and security policies pursued by inside and outside actors, and a suite of overlapping security dilemmas. These four factors combine and interact to generate long-term volatility and ongoing tensions within the Persian Gulf.Through insights from Kamrava's interviews with Gulf elites into policy decisions, the consequences of security dilemmas, the priorities of local players, and the neglect of identity and religion, Troubled Waters examines the root causes of conflicts and crises that are currently unfolding in the region. As Kamrava demonstrates, each state in the region, including Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Qatar, has embarked on vigorous security-producing efforts as part of foreign policy, flooding the area with more munitions-thereby increasing insecurity and causing more mistrust in a part of the world that needs no more tension. 410 0$aPersian Gulf studies. 410 0$aCornell scholarship online. 606 $aSecurity, International$zPersian Gulf Region 606 $aHuman security$zPersian Gulf Region 606 $aforeign policy$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aIran$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aIraq$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aGulf States$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $ainternational security$9eng$2eurovoc 606 $aUnited States$9eng$2eurovoc 607 $aPersian Gulf Region$xForeign relations 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSecurity, International 615 0$aHuman security 615 7$aforeign policy 615 7$aIran 615 7$aIraq 615 7$aGulf States 615 7$ainternational security 615 7$aUnited States 676 $a355/.0330536 686 $a08.08$2EP-CLASS 700 $aKamrava$b Mehran$f1964-$0251819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467896303321 996 $aTroubled waters$92463206 997 $aUNINA
