Informed Questions Paper on Bahrain Foreign Policy and Security Issues
Abstract
Bahrain's geopolitical circumstances do not inspire a strong sense of comfort or complacency: a small island state with a significant religious fracture among its populace, situated amidst much larger and occasionally acquisitive neighbors within a volatile region that supplies a finite mineral essential to global industrial development. Bahrain's ruling Al-Khalifa family has consequently become particularly sensitive to political or security developments in surrounding countries that could sweep across Bahrain's shores and upend its domestic equilibrium.
