Saudi Arabia and Qatar offers a thorough analysis of post-Arab Spring Gulf politics, focusing on intra-Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) dynamics and their regional impact. The book examines the actions and challenges faced by Qatar and Saudi Arabia in Syria and Egypt, while also exploring their power struggle within the GCC and the broader Middle East. It analyses how hegemonic and counter-hegemonic practices emerged in the Gulf after the Arab Uprisings and investigates the extent to which sectarian polarity and political Islam have been institutionalized as counter-hegemonic forces.
