The Resilience of the Gulf Monarchies in a Tumultuous Arab World
Dazi-Héni, Fatiha
The Resilience of the Gulf Monarchies in a Tumultuous Arab World - 2014.
32
The capacity to adapt and the creativity of the Arab monarchies of the Gulf, in particular through the use of institutional tools and arrangements within the dynasties, have often allowed them to overcome inter-dynastic divisions which create tensions and crises but have never led to the disappearance of one of the Royal families. However, given the impact of the Arab Spring and of the declining trend of oil prices, many observers and experts have rushed to announce the coming end of these regimes. This paper demonstrates, to the contrary, that the latter’s resilient nature allows us to claim that, as tensions increase, the feeling of solidarity and the economic and security pact that link the six monarchies are being strengthened.
