Abstract
Since 2020, the regional politics of the Middle East have been characterized by a series of normalizations between former foes. In this article I argue that this era can be understood as an attempt to establish a new regional order, which I term the Gulf-based regional order. While this initiative introduces new security, economic, and ideational components, it faces significant challenges, making its long-term sustainability uncertain.
