Ambassador Richard LeBaron, senior fellow with the Atlantic Council's Rafik Hariri Center for the Middle East, held a conversation with Dr. Greg Gause, professor of political science at the University of Vermont and nonresident fellow with the Brookings Doha Center. These notable experts discussed the underlying motivations that drive Arab Gulf thinking when making decisions regarding regional and national security. The new Cold War between Iran and the Gulf states largely inform their demands of the relationship with the United States and their perceptions regarding regional instability, such as the Syria conflict. Although there appears little common ground between the Gulf and the West, a strong security relationship may serve as a basis for the evolution of the relationship into one based on shared values.
