Papers by Eleonora Ardemagni
The objective is to pursue “pan-security”: a broader, globally-oriented framing of security that also covers regular energy supplies and the provision of commodities and maritime security, in an interplay of national interests and global security.
The US, Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf monarchies fear new “bread crises” which could generate unrest in the MENA region and Africa. They are also growingly concerned by the irregular warfare activities of Iranian-related armed groups which could, in the medium to long term, open a fissure in Saudi-UAE-Russia relations.
The US-Saudi-GCC partnership could be re-energised by focusing on selective arms procurement to prevent irregular warfare threatening global supplies; the reality of outsourcing security to regional powers in the Middle East; the ad hoc engagement of Saudi Arabia (energy security), Qatar (food security) and the UAE (logistics and maritime security) in the new world balances.
This highlights how much the threat perception in western states about the Houthis’ behaviour has been raised, marking a shift from the past.
