The Qatar Crisis, a transformative development that has profoundly impacted the future of regional integration, is explored in-depth in this comprehensive book. It constitutes the first academic endeavor to challenge the prevailing binary perception of this conflict, offering a nuanced and multifaceted perspective. By contextualizing the Gulf Crisis within the broader transformation of the Gulf region in the early 21st century, the book reveals the emergence of new alliances and power dynamics. At its core, the book delves into the question of how the evolving global and regional order either facilitated or exacerbated the 2017 Crisis, which it argues is merely the latest chapter in an ongoing crisis that has been simmering since 2011 and has its roots in historical disputes dating back to the 1800s. While providing a historical backdrop to the crisis, the book also aims to go beyond historical events to identify underlying patterns of identity security related to state and nation-building in the Gulf. This insightful exploration sheds light on the complex dynamics shaping the region and offers valuable insights into the future of regional cooperation and stability.
