Built on field research and documentary evidence, it documents the GCC’s genesis and dispels prevailing myths about its purpose and alignment. The analysis challenges claims that the GCC is primarily anti-Iranian or anti-Israeli, a proxy of Saudi Arabia, or an instrument of the United States, instead framing it as protective cooperation designed to limit revolutionary contagion and contain conflict spillover.","The  \nGulf Cooperation CouncilR.K.RAMAZANIWith a Foreword by Sultan Bin Mohamed Al-Qasimi  \n# RECORD AND ANALYSIS\n\nNot since the war in Vietnam has theUnited States deployed such massivemilitary forces anywhere in the world asin the Persian Gulf.While the region'ssensational problems of revolution andwar have received ample attention,itssingle most constructive development—the establishment of the Gulf Coopera-tion Council(GCC)by Bahrain,Kuwait,Oman,Qatar,Saudi Arabia,and theUnited Arab Emirates—has beenlargely ignored.  \nR.K.Ramazani,a leading specialiston the Middle East,here provides thefirst record and analysis of the GCC.No book before has so comprehensivelydocumented and analyzed the genesisof the GCC and its multifaceted activi-ties in the political,military,economic,and diplomatic fields.Nor has any bookbefore been designed to serve simulta-neously as a tool for further research onthe GCC by combining statistical data,a chronology of developments,and anannotated bibliography in Western andArabic languages in addition to 122documents organized topically.  \nWriting on the basis of field researchas well as documents,Ramazani ex-poses the myths that have taken holdabout the GCC.He challenges theprevalent views that the GCC is ananti-Iranian or an anti-Israeli alliance,astalking-horse of Saudi Arabia,a tool ofthe United States,or an extended royalfamily.Rather,he argues,it is a vehicleof protective cooperation among theGCC's six member states.It was de-signed to contain the contagion of revo-lutionary Islam and the spread of theIraq-Iran war,even though,as he pointsout,the tradition of cooperation amongthe GCC states dates back to at least adecade before the eruption of the Ira-nian Revolution and the outbreak of theIraq-Iran war.  \nRamazani examines the response ofthe GCC states to the challenges of sub-version,terrorism,and war.He also ex-amines the efforts of the GCC states to  \n(continued on back flap)  \n·  \n# THE GULF COOPERATION COUNCILRecord and Analysis\n\nCopyright Current History,Inc.  \n# THE GULF\n\nCOOPERATIONCOUNCILRecord and  \n# Analysis\n\nR.K.Ramazani  \nwith the assistance ofJoseph A.Kechichian  \nWith a Foreword by Sultan Bin Mohamed Al-Qasimi  \nUNIVERSITY PRESS OF VIRGINIACHARLOTTESVILLE  \nTHE UNIVERSITY PRESS OF VIRGINIACopyright ◎1988 by the Rector and Visitorsof the University of Virginia  \nFirst published 1988  \nLIBRARY OF CONGRESS  \nLibrary of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data  \nRamazani,Rouhollah K.,19z8-  \nThe Gulf Cooperation Council:record and analysis/R.K.Ramazaniwith the assistance of Joseph A.Kechichian;with a foreword by Bin Mohamed al-Qasimi  \nP.cm.Bibliography:p.Includes indexISBN o-8139-1148-6  \n1.Majlis al-Ta'awun li-Duwal al-Khalij al-Arabiyah—History.  \n2.Majlis al-Ta‘awun li-Duwal al-Khalij al-Arabiyah—History一Sources.3.Arabian Peninsula—Relations.I.Kechichian,Joseph  \nA.II.Title.  \nDSzo1.M353R₃61988341.24'77—dc19  \n文  \n87-37170  \nCIP  \nTo the Secretariat Generalof the  \nGulf Cooperation Councilin Recognition ofIts Vision of the GCC as an Arab Confederation  \n·","cbCaitRJ5mKLeOqF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitRJ5mKLeOqF","pdf",23056124,3,1,264,"English","en",105,"# Record and Analysis\n## Origins and Genesis of the GCC\n## Scope of GCC Activities\n## Myths and Prevailing Views\n## Protective Cooperation Rationale\n## Responses to Subversion, Terrorism, and War","[{\"question\":\"What is the central focus of this book about the GCC?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a comprehensive record and analysis of the Gulf Cooperation Council’s genesis and its activities across political, military, economic, and diplomatic domains.\"},{\"question\":\"Which common claims does the author challenge about the GCC?\",\"answer\":\"The author challenges views that the GCC is anti-Iranian or anti-Israeli, a front for Saudi Arabia, a tool of the United States, or an extended royal family structure.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the book explain the GCC’s purpose and design?\",\"answer\":\"It argues the GCC is a vehicle of protective cooperation among its member states, intended to contain revolutionary Islam and reduce the risk from the Iraq–Iran conflict context.\"}]","The Gulf Cooperation Council -
