Gulf and Middle Eastern Security - Publications

  • Strategic Comments – Vol 15, Issue 8 - The Iranian nuclear crisis Strategic Comments Volume 15, Issue 8 - November 2009Just as the unmasking of a hidden uranium-enrichment plant threatened to raise tensions about Iran’s nuclear programme to a new level, negotiations between Tehran and major powers produced a breakthrough that could lead to an exchange of enriched uranium and possibly mark the beginning of the end of their long confrontation.
  • Survival Volume 51, No 5 - Iran: Diplomacy and Deterrence Survival 51-5 coverBy Andrew Parasiliti. The Obama administration is not ready to concede an Iranian nuclear weapon. But absent diplomatic progress, the United States may have to accept Iran as a threshold or ‘virtual’ nuclear power. Neither sanctions nor deterrence is likely to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear-weapons capability. A diplomatic breakthrough, however slim the perceived possibilities, is still the best option to halt Iran’s nuclear-weapons ambitions.

  • Survival Volume 51, No 5 - Turkey’s War at Home Survival 51-5 coverBy Steven A Cook. Turkey’s domestic ideological struggles threaten both the impressive reforms enacted earlier this decade and the country’s new-found international standing.
