The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990
The Foreign Policy of the Arab Gulf Monarchies from 1971 to 1990 Submitted by René Rieger to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Middle East Politics in June 2013 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………… ………… 2 ABSTRACT This dissertation provides a comparative analysis of the foreign policies of the Arab Gulf monarchies during the period of 1971 to 1990, as examined through two case studies: (1) the Arab Gulf monarchies’ relations with Iran and Iraq and (2) the six states’ positions in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The dissertation argues that, in formulating their policies towards Iran and Iraq, the Arab Gulf monarchies aspired to realize four main objectives: external security and territorial integrity; domestic and regime stability; economic prosperity; and the attainment of a stable subregional balance of power without the emergence of Iran or Iraq as Gulf hegemon. Over the largest part of the period under review, the Arab Gulf monarchies managed to offset threats to these basic interests emanating from Iran and Iraq by alternately appeasing and balancing the source of the threat. The analysis reveals that the Arab Gulf monarchies’ individual bilateral relations with Iran and Iraq underwent considerable change over time and, particularly following the Iranian Revolution, displayed significant differences in comparison to one another. -

ROYAL SCOUTS -5-, Denmark.)
1 R0YAL SCOUTS -4- © Piet J. Kroonenberg, Amsterdam, March, 2006. SWEDEN When in Sweden the first Scouting troops were founded members of the Royal Family showed an interest and got involved. One of them was Folke Bernadotte, Earl of Wisborg, (1895-1948), a cousin of King Gustaf V Adolf (1858-1950). He was one of the first Swedish Scouts and later played an important role in national and international Scouting. He served his country as a diplomat and during the 2e World War (1939-1945). He was vice-president of the Swedish Red Cross and visited, on behalf of the International Red Cross, in Germany the camps in which the soldiers of Western Allies were held as Prisoners of War. He came in contact with the notorious Nazi Heinrich Himmler, the Reichsfûhrer SS, responsible for the concentration and destruction camps. When in Spring 1945 Nazi Germany was on the verge of total collapse, thanks to this contact – after difficult negotiations - he was able to collect and save approximately 15.000 concentration camp inmates. With the well-known Swedish White Busses they were transported to neutral Sweden via Nazi occupied Denmark. In 1947, he was appointed as the United Nations mediator for Palestine, where, after the founding of the State of Israel war had broken out. In 1948 he succeeded in arranging an armistice between the Israeli’s and the surrounding Arab countries. But in Jerusalem, on September 17th 1948 Folke Bernadotte was assassinated by a zionist, underground group, which considered him to be too pro-Arab. When his burial procession moved through the streets of Stockholm members of the Swedish Red Cross and Scouts marched in the procession. -
