This brief discusses the need for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to adopt a joint security and foreign policy. Although security was a key factor in the alliance’s formation, the GCC has so far been unable to present a united stance on this central issue, which has affected its ability to deal with the growing threats from Iran. The author concludes that cooperation appears more important than ever in light of the increased threats in and around the Gulf and some adjustments in the GCC states’ traditional policies can be identified.
