Synopsis

Lenore Martin stresses the complexity of the region’s problems and relates U.S. strategy to the existing “dynamic balance” and the prospects for destabilization. The Hoover Institution study links Gulf security to events in Afghanistan, the Iraq-Iran war, the prospects for the Gulf Cooperation Council, and the ability of the United States to adjust strategy to political realities.
