This new report from the CSIS Burke Chair in Strategy provides a 2015 assessment of the Gulf military balance, the military capabilities of each Gulf state, the role of the United States as a security partner, and the priorities for change in the structure of both the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab Gulf military partnership with the United States.

Although reform movements have been prominent in varying degrees in most Middle Eastern countries for some time, the recent cascade of events has generated new pressures for democratization throughout the Arab World. Political Change in the Arab Gulf States explores the politics influencing the volatile situation in the region, as well as specific measures devised by regimes in power to adjust to the challenges of the current environment. The authors first focus on the politics of seven Gulf states: Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. They then consider forces that are shaping current political attitudes and behavior across the region. The result is a careful assessment of the prospects for political reform in the Gulf—and an important corrective to a simplistic domino theory of democratization.

EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. The Gulf is a major global destination for migrant workers, with a majority of these workers coming from South Asia. In this book, a team of international contributors examine the often-overlooked complex governance of this migration corridor. Going beyond state-centric analysis, the contributors present a multi-layered account of the 'migration governance complex.' They offer insights not only into the actors involved in the different components of migration governance, but also into the varying ways of interpreting and explaining the meaning and value of these interactions. Together, they enable readers to better understand migration in this important region, while also providing a model for analyzing global migration governance in practice in different parts of the world.

Un quart environ des populations rurales des pays du Sud sont confrontées aux problèmes de l’aridité. Au Moyen-Orient arabe, le contrôle de la dégradation des ressources dans les zones sèches constitue aujourd’hui un des enjeux majeurs pour l’avenir de ces régions. Au cours des quatre dernières décennies, les politiques agricoles ont été concentrées sur le développement de périmètres irrigués au détriment des steppes, régions traditionnellement dévolues à l’élevage et à la production fourragère. Le processus de marginalisation économique de ces régions s’est accompagné d’une marginalisation socio-politique des éleveurs et des agro-pasteurs. Agronomes, archéologues, économistes, ethnologues, géographes, historiens et politologues s’interrogent dans cet ouvrage sur les transformations écologiques des steppes, les stratégies d’adaptation de leurs habitants, les politiques de développement et les relations de pouvoir entre populations locales et décideurs. Quelle est la réalité des phénomènes de dégradation de la végétation et des sols ? Quelles en sont les conséquences à terme ? Qu’est-ce qu’une tribu aujourd’hui et quel est son rôle dans l’organisation de la production ? Qui sont les nouveaux acteurs sociaux qui, outre les groupes bédouins, interviennent dans la transformation des zones sèches ? Dans quelle mesure les États du Moyen-Orient arabe sont-ils maîtres des politiques de développement mises en œuvre ? Autant de questions auxquelles il serait prudent de répondre avant d’entreprendre de nouvelles politiques de développement...
