This book is one of the few English-language publications offering a comprehensive analysis of the Gulf Cooperation Council's (GCC) role, fostering a valuable dialogue between researchers from within the GCC and those abroad. It examines the GCC's achievements, challenges, and evolving role in fostering stability and cooperation, with contributions from scholars within the GCC and internationally. It broadens the discussion beyond typical political and security concerns to encompass economic cooperation, regional diplomacy, and interregional comparisons with ASEAN and the EU. It also provides valuable insights into the importance and benefits of integrating neighboring countries like Yemen into the GCC framework. The book offers researchers, policy analysts, students, and professionals a nuanced understanding of the GCC's achievements, challenges, evolving impact, and future potential, as a model of regional integration in a politically complex environment. This edited collection includes papers presented at the 13th Gulf Research Meeting 2023, which was directed by the Editors.
