Iraq-Iran and the Gulf: The Regional Dynamic.

Abstract

The elements that interact to create the dynamic of the subregion fall within three broad categories: interstate relations, transnational interactions, and subregional interactions. Developments within the states have affected interstate relationships. The Ba'thists' ability to gain and retain power have shaped the domestic situation and foreign relations of Iraq. The stability and strength of the Shah's Iran led to a Pax Irania in the Gulf area. With the coming of the Islamic revolution, not only has the preeminent power of Iran disappeared but new factors have been added to the subregional equation. (Author)
