The strategic partnership between Arab Gulf states, and with the United States and other outside states, must now evolve to deal with conventional military threats and a range of new threats, including ideological extremists, non-state actors and their state sponsors, and a growing range of forces designed to fight asymmetric wars. This new report ... provides a 2015 assessment of the Gulf military balance, the military capabilities of each Gulf state, the role of the United States as a security partner, and the priorities for change in the structure of both the Gulf Cooperation Council and the Arab Gulf military partnership with the United States. The assessment goes far beyond the conventional military balance and examines how force developments in the region affect joint and asymmetric warfare, missiles and missile defense, nuclear forces, as well as terrorism, the role of non-state actors, and outside powers"--Publisher's web site. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (CSIS, viewed November 9, 2015). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Security, International|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85119471|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 0 Military weapons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh91001438|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 0 Ballistic missiles|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85011308|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 0 Ballistic missile defenses|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /subjects/sh85011305|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 0 Nuclear weapons|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85093127|zPersian Gulf Region.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 650 7 Security, International.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1110895 650 7 Military weapons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021577 650 7 Ballistic missiles.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 826097 650 7 Ballistic missile defenses.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/826083 650 7 Nuclear weapons.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1040971 650 7 Armed Forces.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/814586 650 7 Defenses.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1352692 650 7 Military relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1353799 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / International.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. |2bisacsh 650 7 Military readiness.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1021419 651 0 Persian Gulf Region|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100066|xArmed Forces.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99002455 651 0 Persian Gulf Region|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100066|xDefenses.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005481 651 0 United States|xMilitary relations|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85140380|zPersian Gulf Region. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85100066-781 651 0 Persian Gulf Region|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85100066|xMilitary relations|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006409|zUnited States.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095330- 781 651 7 Persian Gulf Region.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1244349 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 651 7 Persian Gulf Region.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01244349 655 4 Electronic books. 700 1 Peacock, Michael|c(Researcher),|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2016042591|eauthor. 710 2 CSIS Burke Chair in Strategy,|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/no2014091377|eissuing body. 710 2 Center for Strategic and International Studies (Washington, D.C.),|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n86119921 |epublisher. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1172186|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
