Abstract
Hydrocarbon riches have lifted the states of the Persian-Arabian Gulf out of poverty, but they also attract unwanted attention and external intervention. This essay examines the security goals of Gulf governments over five eras. It suggests that the expansion of state capacity is both cause and effect of foreign investment and other resource transfers, and argues that their hydrocarbon resources have been key assets of Gulf governments in pursuing their national and regional security interests.
