New Military Strategies in the Gulf: The Mirage of Autonomy in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar

"New Military Strategies in the Gulf: The Mirage of Autonomy in Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar"

New Military Strategies in the Gulf explores the quest for strategic autonomy by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar over the past decade. Despite diversifying partnerships beyond the West, the book reveals how militarisation and regional entanglements, particularly in Yemen, have undercut these ambitions. Drawing on fieldwork, interviews, and declassified documents, it offers a rare, in-depth analysis of Gulf defence policy, institutional reform, and shifting regional dynamics.
