Political & social security in Arabian Gulf region and United Arab Emirates (after second Gulf War). External and Internal Challenges
The aim of this study is to identify regional and international challenges to security in the Arabian Gulf region resulting from developments over the last decades as well as to examine their impact on the security in this area generally and in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) particularly. This study is also aimed at drawing up a strategy on strengthening political and social security of the UAE.
This study is intended to answer the following central question: What are the most significant effects of the Second Gulf War on the security and stability in both of economic (social) and political context for the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC)1 countries generally and the UAE especially? The objective answer to this question, however, requires an understanding of the special nature of the Gulf region and the role of this (special) nature in regional security and stability concept. In what extent was the Second Gulf War an accumulative result of this nature and also in what way it destroyed the most significant components of political and social security in the Gulf area?
