Abstract

The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have a unique importance in terms of foreign policy in that despite their small size, their role as strategic energy exporters has allowed them to assume and cultivate power on the international level. he monarchial states of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar are by no means militarily powerful, or indeed hegemons within the region, yet their reach is considerably beyond their respective geopolitical positions. hey play critical roles throughout the wider Middle East and are collectively power brokers in their own right.
