| Summary/Abstract |
The Arab Gulf states have systematically worked to tighten their cooperation in various fields. However, progress toward increased defence collaboration continues to be slow due to a number of factors including fears of angering neighbouring countries, particularly Iran; protecting state sovereignty; and reliance on other forms of defence, such as national militaries and foreign allies. This article traces the ups and downs of defence cooperation between the Arab Gulf nations, focusing on the establishment of the GCC and the joint Peninsula Shield Force, crucial milestones in Arab Gulf security coordination. A timeline of increased and decreased cooperation is presented, including during the two Gulf wars, along with the manner in which the joint force has been employed, its associated concerns, and the potential future for defence collaboration.

| Summary/Abstract |
The last two centuries have brought dramatic changes to the Persian/Arabian Gulf. Yet while imperial politics and newfound wealth altered much about coastal Gulf societies, fishing remained a remarkably steady enterprise. Rather than immediately changing alongside regionally altering events, fishing provided a stable livelihood for many Gulf coast residents throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and even beyond the first half of the twentieth century. The main contention of this paper is that due to environmental limitations, the Gulf provided enough resources for local consumption, but not enough to justify large investment by foreign powers, such as the British Empire. This fact left local fishermen and political leaders in control of fishing. It also enabled fishermen to adapt to new technologies and markets at their own pace, rather than being compelled to do so by imperial powers. Even the twentieth century oil economy initially provided new markets for traditional fisheries rather than replacing them with industrial fishing fleets.

| Summary/Abstract |
If piracy attacks are unreported, a misleading impression is given of piracy situations in regions where there could be serious consequences for ships traveling in waterways on the assumption that they are piracy-free waters. However, sometimes not reporting piracy attacks could help to contain piracy before it expands, because reporting can lead to the media over-focusing on piratical incidents, and armed guards being deployed on ships, which causes pirates to use heavier arms and escalates the level of conflict. Piracy that took place during 2003–2012 in the north and the center of the Arabian Gulf has never been reported to the International Maritime Bureau. The present article examines this case of unreporting, and discusses its causes and consequences.

| Summary/Abstract |
Through close textual analysis of Hidāya al-Sālim’s (1936–2001) “Kharīf bilā maṭar” (1972) and Najwā Hāshim’s (b. 1960) “Ḥumā fī layla sākhina” (1986), this article examines how literature has been used as a means of raising feminist consciousness in the Arabian Gulf region. I argue that these two short stories, among others, can be situated within the “authentic realist” literary corpus famously championed by the Anglo-American women’s liberation movement of the 1970s–80s. Enhancing the stories’ consciousness-raising features are the facts that they both were written in a historical period when the women’s liberation movement was gaining momentum across the world, and that each of them was first published in a local magazine/newspaper. Moreover, the authors depict not just the ways through which some women of their own generation in particular have been victims, but also, the necessity of female agency (individual and collective) in achieving liberation from patriarchal domination.

| Summary/Abstract |
Sri Lanka, the "pearl" of the Indian Ocean, is strategically located within the east-west international shipping passageway. Like the old Silk Road that stretched from the ancient Chinese capital of Xian all the way to ancient Rome, modern China's strategic and commercial supply line extends over the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea to include the focal transit port of Sri Lanka at the southern tip of India. Today, over 85 percent of China's energy imports from the Middle East and mineral resources from Africa transit through Sri Lanka and other so-called "string of pearls" ports. Beijing seeks to protect these "pearls" as strategic economic arteries anchored all the way from the Persian Gulf and African waters to Hong Kong. Colonel Christopher Pehrson at the US Army War College describes this elaborate network as:
"The manifestation of China's rising geopolitical influence through efforts to increase access to ports and airfields, develop special diplomatic relationships, and modernize military forces that extend from the South China Sea through the Strait of Malacca, across the Indian Ocean, and on to the Arabian Gulf."

| Summary/Abstract |
"Over the last year, we were on station in the Pacific to deal with provocative North Korean actions," Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Jonathan Greenert wrote in his foreword to the Navy Program Guide 2014 . "We patrolled off the shores of Syria, Libya, Egypt, Somalia, and Sudan to protect American lives, hunt violent extremists, and induce regional leaders to make constructive choices amid widespread disorder. We delivered aid and relieved suffering in the Philippines in the wake of a devastating typhoon. We mobilized to restrain coercion against our allies and friends in the East and South China Seas. We kept piracy at bay in the Horn of Africa," he continued. "We projected long-range combat power from aircraft carriers in the North Arabian Sea into Afghanistan, and arrayed our forces to enhance stability in the Arabian Gulf. Across the Middle East and Africa, we took the fight to insurgents, terrorists, and their supporting networks by providing high leverage expeditionary support to Special Operations Forces."
