This book discusses the various critical dimensions of the Qatar Crisis as a crisis that fundamentally reshapes the nature of regional integration in the near future. It presents the first academic attempt to challenge the commonly propagated binary view of this conflict. This book intends to explain the Gulf Crisis in the context of the transformation of the Gulf in the early 21 st century with new alliances and power balances emerging. At the heart of this book lies the question of how the changing global and regional order has facilitated or even fuelled the 2017 Crisis, which will be perceived as the most recent climax of a long ongoing crisis in the Gulf, which had been simmering since 2011 and is rooted in historical feuds that go back to the 1800s. While contextualizing the crisis historically, the book tries to look beyond historic events to identify underlying patterns of identity security employed in state and nation building in the Gulf.
