Book excerpt: Home to more than half of the world's oil reserves and over a third of its natural gas, the stability of the Persian Gulf is critical to the global economy. A confluence of events in the Middle East-the withdrawal of American troops from Iraq, the Arab Revolutions in 2011, and the ongoing concerns over Iran's nuclear program-have raised questions about the security of the Gulf region, as well as our relations with the six states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
