RISING TIDES OF DIPLOMACY: EXPLORING THE POTENTIAL FOR A GULF MARITIME SECURITY ALLIANCE AND ITS IMPLICATIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST
Keywords:
Gulf-Maritime Security Cooperation, Geopolitics, ran-Saudi Mediation, Regional Security Complex Theory, Middle EastAbstract
This research investigates the intricate and historically disputed connection between Saudi Arabia and Iran, two prominent nations in the Middle East, and assesses the possibility of cooperation in marine security. This study employs the Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) to examine the geopolitical consequences, impacts on pre-existing alliances, and reactions of other governments. This research emphasizes the importance of incorporating measures aimed at fostering mutual trust, including impartial mediation, diplomatic dialogue, and confidence-building initiatives. It also shows how important global cooperation and making agreements that can be enforced by the law are for encouraging positive cooperation. The possible establishment of a maritime security alliance between Saudi Arabia and Iran holds the potential to exert a substantial influence on regional stability, economic progress, and the global energy market. However, it is crucial to adeptly negotiate the risks and challenges presented by the geopolitical realities of the region.
