| description | Abstract:
This paper aims to analyse
se the growing enlargement of the spheres
of competition from the Middle East into the Horn of Africa. It does
so by using insights from regional order and realist neoclassical
literature to understand the expansion of regional powers into
this area as the result of strategic interactions within their own
region. The central argument is that the clashing interests among
Middle Eastern regional powers and power asymmetry with Horn
of Africa countries are driving an increased security
interdependence between the two Red Sea shores. This
increasing security engagement by competing Middle Eastern
states is producing an insecurity spillover which threatens to
exacerbate regional instability in the Horn. It also presents a new
role for Middle Eastern regional powers as security providers,
particularly in the case of the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia,
Israel and Turkey. To substantiate this argument, the paper
analyses interregional security dynamics by focusing on three
empirical cases in the 2015¶
–2020 period: The Gulf Cooperation
Council’s crisis, the establishment of a Turkish military bases in
the Horn of Africa and Israel’s new diplomatic engagement in
Eastern Africa. |
