Gulf Politics

Gulf Politics refers to the political dynamics, relationships, and governance structures among the countries bordering the Persian Gulf, primarily including Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. This term encompasses a wide range of issues, including regional security, economic collaboration, diplomatic relations, and responses to global political developments. Gulf Politics is often shaped by factors such as oil and gas reserves, historical tensions, sectarian divisions, and external influences from global powers. It also involves the role of organizations like the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and interactions with regional conflicts, such as the impacts of the Syrian Civil War and tensions with Iran. The political landscape in this region is complex and fluid, influenced by both domestic policies and international relations.
