The Gulf states and Iran: robust competitors or interested bystanders?
About the author
Rodger Shanahan
Dr Rodger Shanahan is a former Nonresident Fellow at the Lowy Institute.
'The Gulf states and Iran: robust competitors or interested bystanders' discusses how a complex mix of insecurity, economic interests, cultural ties and shared geography shape Gulf attitudes toward their large neighbour. This paper also examines the dilemmas facing Gulf states as they seek to balance conciliatory and confrontational approaches to Iran, particularly over the nuclear issue.
