Indonesia's ‘Layered Incoherence’
Indonesia's policy towards the Israeli–Palestinian conflict has taken a notable turn in the past few years. Previously, Jakarta responded to developments by providing humanitarian assistance; it now concerns itself with security and military affairs, and has adopted a more activist posture. Moch Faisal Karim's concept of ‘layered incoherence’ provides insight into the shift, but would do better to underscore the detrimental impact that a high deg…
Indonesia recalibrates relations with the Middle East
Antinomies of Alignment Redux
Over the past three decades, the United Arab Emirates has forged a sturdy bilateral security alignment with the United States. It has also pursued foreign policies that conflict with US interests in the Gulf and the broader Middle East. This contradiction is usually attributed to a hedging strategy. However, a more accurate analysis indicates that this reflects the peculiar type of alignment that exists between the two countries: a dyadic protect…
Iran’s Troubled Relations with Afghanistan and Tajikistan
Afghanistan’s reversion to Taliban rule poses severe threats to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Tehran faces a dilemma over how best to respond to these dangers: it could continue to conciliate the Taliban or it could revert to the antagonistic posture it adopted towards Kabul in the 1990s. While each of these strategies can improve Iran’s security situation to some extent, they also entail unintended consequences that exacerbate Iranian vulnerabil…
How conciliating Taliban-led Afghanistan ended up endangering Iran
Revisiting the modes of China's revisionism
Gabriele Natalizia and Lorenzo Termine lay out an innovative framework to analyze the trajectory of the current foreign policy of the People's Republic of China. As it stands, it suffers from serious conceptual ambiguities and generates a set of categories that is too large to guide empirical research. After revision, however, the framework that Natalizia and Termine propose can be deployed to elucidate Beijing's behavior in various parts of the …

Antinomies of Alignment
Kuwait has forged a strong bilateral security alignment with the United States over the past three decades. But it has also pursued foreign policies that run counter to expressed American objectives and priorities in the Gulf and the broader Middle East. Why this happens can best be explained in terms of a combination of shifts in the overt US commitment to the partnership and changes in the level of threat in the region
Algeria’s Assertive Re-emergence
Algeria is re-emerging as an active player in international politics following the Arab Spring uprisings that swept across the Middle East and North Africa beginning in 2010–11. But it has adopted a much different posture from the one it maintained during the 1960s and 1970s. The broadly accommodative attitude that Algiers previously exhibited towards the outside world has been replaced by a more combative stance. Military power has become its pr…
China-Oman relations and the Indian Ocean security dilemma

The changing role of the Gulf in the international political economy
In the past half-decade, the role of the Gulf in the international political economy has changed dramatically. The region’s position as a supplier of world hydrocarbons has slipped, even as local consumption of oil and gas continues to expand. Gulf investments have shifted from the industrialized countries to the Middle East and North Africa. Saudi Arabia no longer exercises disproportionate influence in the Group of 20. Finally, relations with t…

Il Libano prima e dopo il 1982
On June 6, 1982 the Israeli Government, headed by Likud leader Menachem Begin, launched the operation "Peace in Galilee" with the aim of thwarting Palestinian resistance in Southern Lebanon and thus protecting Israel's Northern border and towns. On the one hand, the operation evolved into a full scale war with the Israel Defense Forces surrounding Beirut already on June 14; on the other, it intertwined with the ongoing civil war that had seen the…
The GCC and the International Relations of the Gulf
“The GCC, made up of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and the UAE, is one of the most resilient sub-regional organizations in the world, and the most successful in the one in the Arab world. It has been the forum through which much internal security co-operation in this volatile sub-region has taken place, as well as the main representative for the UAE's territorial dispute with Iran over the Aub Musa and Tunbs Islands. It also has sign…
Political Change in the Arab Gulf 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 aut…
