Al Jazeera Centre for Studies released a new book on 27 December 2021 entitled The Horn of Africa: A Gulf Strategic Depth by Madwakh Ajmi Al-Otaibi, professor of international relations at Joaan Bin Jassim Joint Command and Staff College in Qatar.
The book, which is originally a PhD thesis, aims to present geo-strategic, geo-economic and geo-cultural facts about the Horn of Africa as a Gulf strategic depth and attempts to answer a bundle of questions, such as: to which extent does the Horn of Africa make up one of the components of the strategic depth of the Arab Gulf? What is the nature of the fixed data that characterise the Gulf and Horn of Africa regions and render each of them a strategic depth to the other? What is the best means of building a Gulf strategic depth in the Horn of Africa according to the logic of strategic partnerships?
The Horn of Africa: A Gulf Strategic Depth is centred around the premise that the strategic depth of international politics in the new world order is based on an integrative relationship that reflects mutual interests between the parties concerned with defining strategic relations in aims of confronting mutual political, economic and security challenges. Thus, it attempts to tie the security and stability of the Horn of Africa and those of the Gulf region.
