Abstract

Ideological factor has always remained the corner stone in the formation of alliances and regional politics of Middle East. Recent years have seen a drastic shift in the traditional politics of Middle East. Qatar Crisis highlighted a wedge within the GCC framework. Meanwhile; Qatar's tilt towards Iran and the Saudi's aggressive policies uncovered the rise of new dynamism. The study uses the theoretical assumptions of Structural Realism to draw conclusions about Qatar, Iran and Turkey's behaviour. However; the data is gathered through both Primary and Secondary sources. Political environment of Middle East is undergoing a significant shift by emergence of new alliances which are not directed by sectarian divide. Iran- Qatar- Turkey Troika has emerged as a new pole and in better position than Saudi Arabia and UAE. The Sunni bloc is seen declining as not only Qatar, but Oman and Kuwait also pursuing the policy of hedging towards Iran. The study aims to explore factors that led to engagement between Iran and Qatar, impact of Iran-Qatar relations on GCC and the emerging Iran, Qatar and Turkey alliance and its implications on the Middle East.

新兴的中东新联盟体系及其对海湾合作委员会的影响

意识形态因素一直是中东地区联盟和地区政治形成的基石。近年来，中东的传统政治发生了巨大的变化。卡塔尔危机凸显了海湾合作委员会框架内的裂痕。与此同时;卡塔尔向伊朗倾斜以及沙特咄咄逼人的政策揭示了新的活力的崛起。该研究利用结构现实主义的理论假设，得出了有关卡塔尔、伊朗和土耳其行为的结论。然而;数据是通过主要和次要来源收集的。中东的政治环境正在发生重大变化，出现了不受宗派分歧支配的新联盟。伊朗-卡塔尔-土耳其三驾马车已经成为新的一极，并且比沙特阿拉伯和阿联酋处于更好的位置。人们认为，衰落的不仅是卡塔尔，还有阿曼和科威特，它们也在对伊朗采取对冲政策。该研究旨在探讨导致伊朗和卡塔尔接触的因素，伊朗-卡塔尔关系对海湾合作委员会和新兴的伊朗，卡塔尔和土耳其联盟的影响及其对中东的影响。
