Book Talk: Security Politics in the Gulf Monarchies: Continuity Amid Change 

In his new book, Security Politics in the Gulf Monarchies: Continuity Amid Change, David B. Roberts explores the forces bolstering and challenging the status quo across the political, social, economic, military, and environmental dimensions of state, society, and stability in the Gulf Arab countries. He examines the six Gulf monarchies – Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates – both individually and holistically, considering their recent histories and contemporary concerns. A wide-ranging, in-person conversation on these issues and more was moderated by AGSIW Senior Resident Scholar Hussein Ibish.
