Book excerpt: The Arab uprisings have triggered different responses from the GCC states, ranging from anger at the collapse of the Mubarak regime in Egypt to direct intervention in Libya, and intensifying pressure for similiar action in Syria. The contributors of this volume examine why these responses took the forms that they did and what pro-active initiatives have emerged in their wake to reinforce regional structures against the danger of contagion from the new uncertainties that have emerged in the Mashreq and the Maghreb.
