The lengthy British imperial presence had guaranteed a prolonged stability for the Gulf unmatched elsewhere in the region. This book examines how, in the context of interplay between its ambitions and the regional and international environment, Iran influenced efforts to reorder the Gulf's political landscape. Its central argument is that a better understanding of the new Gulf order can be achieved by emphasizing local concerns and the degree to which regional powers influenced the policy of external powers in those formative years\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Faisal Bin Salman Al-Saud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1860648819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781860648816\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.56h x 6.28w x 0.85d","brand":"Faisal Bin Salman Al-Saud","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43939034824959,"sku":"9781860648816","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_167c4d0a-d718-43f2-aaf1-4039bb3c822c.jpg?v=1681439113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iran-saudi-arabia-and-the-faisal-bin-salman-al-saud-9781860648816","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
