This book explores how growing economic ties between Asian countries and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) could impact their future relationship. It postulates that the stage is now set for strategic partnerships and highlights how some Asian countries have been explicit about showcasing their power and influence in the Gulf region. While exploring an alternative and broad-based security architecture, it identifies the challenges that any probable Asian cooperative approach could face as the countries of the Arabian Gulf show signs of looking beyond the United States to develop their long-term strategic interests.

Over the last two decades the relations between the countries of the Gulf and Asia have expanded beyond the economic domain to include political and even security arrangements. While oil and non-oil trade are still the fulcrum of their association, 'strategic' partnerships are fast becoming the norm. The contributors of this book argue that, along with economic diversification, the Gulf countries have also diversified their foreign policies, especially with China, India, Japan and South Korea, among others. Together with Russia, this could eventually alter the current US-centric security paradigm. This opens up the prospect for a 'collective' security architecture in the Gulf, which is key to regional and global stability.

It is common knowledge that ‘great powers’, especially the United States and China, exert economic, political and military dominance over the world. But several middle powers, including those in the Gulf region, especially Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, are changing tack. They are increasingly exerting influence through several Cs: crude (oil), capital, commerce, collaboration, cyber (technology), climate, connectivity, competition, and compromise. The chapters of this book argue that the abovementioned factors are rooted more in geoeconomics and less in geopolitics, with very little focus on military dynamics. The book stitches together a narrative promoting the idea that pursuing any or many of these Cs makes these countries relatively more pragmatic, thus enabling them to focus and further their economic agenda and growth. This has helped them to punch above their weight, not just in the economic domain, but also in the political sphere. Encouraged by the fragmented world order, the Gulf middle powers are pursuing multialigned strategies. They are simultaneously straddling separate partnerships, not alliances, with the United States and China, and building other networks in a world that is witnessing the rise of new markets and power centres.
