Utilising an innovative theoretical framework that combines Foreign Policy Analysis in the context of authoritarian regimes and Social Identity Theory, the book theorizes the origins and inner workings of a \"monarchic peace\" among hereditary regimes in the Middle East, including the Gulf monarchies as well as Jordan and Morocco. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile the phenomenon of the \"democratic peace\" is well established in political science, this book argues that like the examined \"monarchic peace\", it is, in fact, a sub-case of a broader Similar Political Systems Peace (SPSP). The theory posits that monarchies do not wage war against each other because they recognize each other as members of the same \"ingroup\" which allows for other mechanisms of conflict resolution - behaviour that is allowed against outsiders might be prohibited against members of the same club or \"family\". The theory is illustrated with numerous case studies that look at overall regional dynamics as well as four crucial cases of monarchic interstate conflict: Bahraini-Qatari relations, the Saudi-Hashemite rivalry, and the relations between Kuwait and Iraq and Iran and the UAE.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis in-depth account of the foreign policies and community, connecting Middle Eastern monarchies will be of interest to readers in international relations, authoritarianism studies, Middle East and Persian Gulf politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnna Sunik\u003c\/strong\u003e, focuses on Middle East politics and authoritarianism.
