Abstract

The article "Kuwait Under a New Emir: Continuity or Change?" discusses the implications of Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah's death on Kuwaiti domestic and regional politics. Experts predict that the new leader, Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah, will maintain his predecessor's policies but adopt a different leadership style. The new emir is expected to delegate more day-to-day governance duties to Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah. Additionally, Kuwait is known for its independent streak in international relations, focusing on peacemaking and maintaining good relations, even differing with larger Gulf Cooperation Council members on significant issues.
