Iran, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf : Power Politics in Transition Hardback
by Faisal bin Salman al-Saud
Part of the Library of International Relations series
Hardback
Description
Great Britain's decision to withdraw its forces from the Gulf was a turning point in the modern history of the Middle East.
Now regional players had to find rules of common coexistence.
With the US immersed in the Vietnam war and the Soviet Union pursuing a policy of caution, there was no world power waiting to succeed Britain.
As a result, Gulf politics "went local". This book examines how Iran influenced efforts to reorder the Gulf's political landscape.
Its central argument is that a better understanding of the new Gulf order can be achieved by emphasizing local concerns and the degree to which regional powers influenced the policy of external powers in those times.
