"Guardians of the Gulf: A Deep Dive into the GCC Defence Industry" provides a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of the defence industry in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. This meticulously researched book explores the transition from heavy reliance on imports to the development of robust domestic defence capabilities, shedding light on the geopolitical and strategic implications for the region and beyond.
With a focus on key players such as Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar, it delves into the complex interplay between military modernisation, technological advancements, and regional security dynamics. Through meticulous examination and insightful commentary, this book offers a compelling analysis of how these nations have transformed into guardians of their security, shaping the defence landscape in the Gulf and beyond.
Guardians of the Gulf is essential for policymakers, scholars, and anyone seeking a deep understanding of contemporary defence developments in this critical region. Key Takeaways The GCC states heavily relied on arms imports initially due to limited domestic industrial capabilities and evolving security threats. The United States played a significant role as a primary arms supplier to the GCC states during their early development stages.
Over time, concerns about supply chain vulnerabilities and over-dependence on foreign powers led to a strategic shift towards developing indigenous defence industries. The book explores the economic implications of the local defence industry, emphasising its potential to drive economic growth, create job opportunities, and foster technological innovation. It also delves into the security implications of defence industry development, focusing on enhancing military capabilities and strengthening national security.
The book's methodology adopts a multidisciplinary approach, integrating historical, economic, geopolitical, and security perspectives through primary and secondary research. The book's structure follows a logical flow, exploring the drivers and challenges of defence indigenisation, economic diversification, technology transfer, and their impact on regional security cooperation.
