Regional Integration and Cooperation as Panacea to the Middle East Conflict: Saudi-Yemen Crisis in Focus

Abstract

The multiple crises afflicting the Middle East have now reached a critical inflection point. The region is undergoing the proverbial perfect storm, with more states descending into civil war and a proliferation of failed states now being exploited by ISIS. Regional cooperation led by Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey represents the best means for resolving these problems and avoiding catastrophic scenarios for the Middle East in the decades ahead. Although the risk that the four powers will just muddle through and not cooperate is high given the “speeding train” effects of the megatrends and the momentum of the current conflicts in the region. The paper sets out to address questions about why and how the problem in the Middle East has persisted, why the integration of Yemen into the regional blocs has remained unattained amongst other concerns. Using secondary sources and content analysis the paper tries to explore the situation and concludes that what remains of the Middle East to attain greatness in global affairs lies in its undaunted resolve to forge a regional font. Drawing from this it concludes amongst other things that the countries of the Middle East must set aside their differences and limit the suspicion and tension amongst one another in the interest of a robust regional stability.
