Book Synopsis Security Community in the Persian Gulf and South Asian States by : Majid Sharifi
Download or read book Security Community in the Persian Gulf and South Asian States written by Majid Sharifi and published by Bloomsbury Academic. This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work focuses on the Persian Gulf and South Asian States (PGSAS), including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, and The Gulf Cooperation Council States. Recognized as the site for the rise of radical Islam, terrorism, inter-state wars, nuclear proliferation, and civil wars, the region has become a threat to global security. Yet, there still lacks an grand strategy to build a regional security community in the region, which should be treated as a political unit in need of stable and interdependent alliance. After discussing the concept of security community, the authors investigate the role of international institutions and U.S. policies in the (in)security of the region. It argues that the U.S. should invest in creating a security community in the region as it did in post War Europe, concluding that this would be a feasible and practical solution to current insecurity not only in the region but also in the world. Written by experts, this timely work will appeal to anyone studying issues of international security as well as the politics of South Asia and the Gulf States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the increasing involvement, since the end of the Cold War, of the United States in the security of the Persian Gulf and South Asian states (PGSAS). By comparing policy objectives with outcomes, the project finds that U.S. policy requires strategic altruism rather than divide-and-conquer realism, because the unintended consequences of the U.S.'s approach have been the creation of a pervasive insecurity regime--not only for the region, but also for the United States. The authors examine the specific policy areas of military security, economics and development, and democracy and human rights, and suggest that the needs to U.S. reconceptualise its grand strategy for the region as a security community, with the region's specific characteristics carefully considered. Written by experts, this timely work will appeal to anyone studying international security and foreign policy, as well as the politics of South Asia and the Gulf States.
Book Synopsis Insecurity Communities of South Asia and the Middle East by : Majid Sharifi
Download or read book Insecurity Communities of South Asia and the Middle East written by Majid Sharifi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book critically examines how US foreign policy has produced a regional regime of instability and insecurity in South Asia and the Middle East. It focuses on three interconnected zones of conflict—Afghanistan and Pakistan in South Asia, Iran and the Persian Gulf states, and Iraq and its neighbours. In a comprehensive historical survey, this work compares the governing behaviour of these states with that of the West, where the American foreign policy establishment has, in contrast, pushed for investing in collective security. The author studies various events throughout history such as the Taliban regime; the US-led war in Afghanistan; the Obama administration and Pakistan; the first and second Gulf wars; the Arab Spring, and the rise of ISIS to present a theoretical analysis of Washington’s consistent pursuit of multibalancing and regime change wars in the region. An important critical assessment of Western foreign policies, this book will be indispensable for students and researchers of US foreign policy, defense and security studies, strategic affairs, politics and international relations, political economy, nation-state building, identity studies, globalization studies, Middle East studies, and South Asian studies.

Book Synopsis Regional Security in South Asia and the Gulf by : Umer Karim
Download or read book Regional Security in South Asia and the Gulf written by Umer Karim and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-02-24 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we move towards a world without superpowers, the dynamics within and between regions are of growing significance. Against this backdrop, this book explores the links between South Asia and the Gulf, which have existed for centuries but are undergoing important shifts in the transition to multipolarity. With a special focus on India, Pakistan, Iran, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Sri Lanka and Oman, this volume brings together scholars from across these regions to investigate what the decentring world order means for the relationship between South Asia and the Gulf. It employs Regional Security Complex Theory to examine the changing global patterns of power and their impact on the inter-regional patterns of amity and enmity between states in South Asia and the Gulf. It employs both constructivist and realist approaches, seeking to understand how power and social processes influence the political and security linkages between these regions.
Book Synopsis Iran's Security Policy in the Post-Revolutionary Era by : Daniel Byman
Download or read book Iran's Security Policy in the Post-Revolutionary Era written by Daniel Byman and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2001-05-09 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion, nationalism, ethnicity, economics, and geopolitics all are important in explaining Iran's goals and tactics in its relationship with the outside world, as are the agendas of key security institutions and the ambitions of their leaders. This report assesses Iran's security policy in light of these factors. It examines broad drivers of Iran's security policy, describes important security institutions, explores decisionmaking, and reviews Iran's relations with key countries. The authors conclude that Iraq is widely recognized as the leading threat to Iran's Islamic regime and Afghanistan is seen as an emerging threat. In contrast, Iran has solid, if not necessarily warm, relations with Syria and established working ties to Pakistan and Russia. Iran's policies toward its neighbors are increasingly prudent: It is trying to calm regional tension and end its isolation, although its policies toward Israel and the United States are often an exception to this policy. Iran's security forces, particularly the regular military, are often voices of restraint, preferring shows of force to overactive confrontations. Finally, Iran's security forces generally respect and follow the wishes of Iran's civilian leadership; conducting rogue operations is rare to nonexistent.
Book Synopsis A New Structure for Security, Peace, and Cooperation in the Persian Gulf by : Seyed Hossein Mousavian
Download or read book A New Structure for Security, Peace, and Cooperation in the Persian Gulf written by Seyed Hossein Mousavian and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-11-17 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tensions between Iran and its Arab neighbors at the Persian Gulf have often been described as one of the challenges to the world peace and security over the past decade. As a result, one of the puzzles of the current international relations has been the question of whether or not, there are prospects to resolve conflicts between Iran and Saudi Arabia and GCC and envision normalized, friendly diplomatic relations between the two states. This book argues that normalized and friendly ties between Iran and Saudi Arabia is possible, and indeed, the author shows that there is a historical precedence for it, even in the post-1979 revolutionary Iran. And, if normalized and friendly diplomatic relations are possible between Iran and Saudi Arabia, then, it is not hard to envision that maladies of sectarianism as well as Sunni-Shi’a conflict would subside in the region. The book draws on the author’s involvement, conversations, interviews, and personal observations as Ambassador and official over several decades. The book tries to explore the possibilities of diplomatic resolutions to the existing conflicts between Iran and Saudi Arabia and offer a roadmap to achieving sustainable diplomatic relations.
Book Synopsis Iran and the Security Order in the Persian Gulf by : Javad Heiran-Nia
Download or read book Iran and the Security Order in the Persian Gulf written by Javad Heiran-Nia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-07-23 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the security arrangements of the Persian Gulf, with a particular focus on Iran's security plans since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution and follows it during Hassan Rouhani presidency. The book provides responses to the questions regarding the security plans of the Islamic Republic of Iran vis a vis the Persian Gulf and why the plans of the Rouhani government in this regard have not been welcomed by the countries of the region. It also analyses the security approach to establish comprehensive and lasting security in this region. Highlighting the importance of Iran's plans during Rouhani's presidency, the author indicates that it provides a codified and clear solution for achieving security in the region from the viewpoint of Iran. These plans have come closer to the logic of realism and has moved away from the idealism of the past plans. Seeking to create a balance against other actors in the region, Iran's plans are not welcomed by the region`s countries, because it seeks to bring other actors such as Russia and China to the Persian Gulf in order to balance against the United States. The book designs a security model for sustainable security in the Persian Gulf and how to achieve a model for regional dialogue. Comparing the transition to realistic logic in relation to other Iranian plans regarding the Persian Gulf, this book offers an innovative analysis of Iran's plans for the security of the Persian Gulf. It will be of interest to researchers in political science, International Relations, political geography, regional studies, security studies and Middle East Studies.

Book excerpt: Sets out a comprehensive framework of analysis for security studies, examining the distinctive character and dynamics of security in five sectors: military, political, economic, environmental, and societal. It rejects traditionalists' case for restricting security in one sector, arguing that security is a particular type of politics applicable to a wide range of issues, and offers a constructivist operational method for distinguishing the process of securitization from that of politicization.

They explore the mutual perceptions of the peoples of the Gulf today and the role of the new generation in shaping its future.
Book Synopsis Regional and International Powers in the Gulf Security by : Alaa Al-Din Arafat
Download or read book Regional and International Powers in the Gulf Security written by Alaa Al-Din Arafat and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the threats and challenges facing the Persian Gulf and the future security in the region, providing an overview of the major regional and extra-regional actors in Gulf security. It argues that except for Iran, no regional or extra-regional actors, including the United States, China, India and Russia, have developed a strategy for Persian Gulf security, and only Turkey has expressed a willingness to provide security for the region. Importantly, the major threats to Persian Gulf security are nonconventional, rather than external, threats to Iranian hegemony or the balance of power. In conclusion, it predicts that the power struggle in the Persian Gulf in the coming decades will be between Iran and Turkey, and not between Iran and Saudi Arabia. This book is of interest to diplomats, journalists, international affairs specialists, strategists and scholars of Gulf politics and security and defence studies.
Download or read book Regions and Powers written by Barry Buzan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-12-04 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book develops the idea that since decolonisation, regional patterns of security have become more prominent in international politics. The authors combine an operational theory of regional security with an empirical application across the whole of the international system. Individual chapters cover Africa, the Balkans, CIS Europe, East Asia, EU Europe, the Middle East, North America, South America, and South Asia. The main focus is on the post-Cold War period, but the history of each regional security complex is traced back to its beginnings. By relating the regional dynamics of security to current debates about the global power structure, the authors unfold a distinctive interpretation of post-Cold War international security, avoiding both the extreme oversimplifications of the unipolar view, and the extreme deterritorialisations of many globalist visions of a new world disorder. Their framework brings out the radical diversity of security dynamics in different parts of the world.
