Kuwait Amid War, Peace and Revolution

"Kuwait Amid War, Peace and Revolution" explores Kuwaiti internal security challenges including terrorism, sabotage and subversion, and, using untapped Kuwaiti security sources, examines policy responses such as mass deportations and special security trials. The study details how turmoil in neighbouring states such as Iraq and Iran, and deep ethnic and religious tensions inside Kuwait, shape Kuwait's threat environment. The study probes the period of the Iranian revolution, Iran-Iraq war and Iraqi invasions, and applies the lessons learned to new challenges in Kuwait, including Islamic extremism.
