ABSTRACT Donald Trump’s presidency may have altered less in relations between the United States and the Gulf Cooperation Council than recent accounts suggest. Instead, power relations between the US and its Gulf allies have long been, and continue to be, asymmetrical. Dependency theory and postcolonial analysis illustrate the ways in which the US global hegemon exhibits hierarchy, exerting control over Gulf economic resources (oil) and extending its ‘security umbrella’ (e.g. weapons sales and bases) – all in highly unequal dynamics. A critical discourse analysis of American and Saudi speeches during the 2017 Riyadh summit further confirms this assessment. This raises questions about alliance-making and alliance-maintenance norms of promise-keeping and reciprocity.

重新考虑 GCC-美国联盟的建立:依赖的痛苦

摘要唐纳德特朗普总统任期内美国与海湾合作委员会之间关系的变化可能比最近的报道所显示的要小。相反,美国与其海湾盟国之间的权力关系长期以来一直是不对称的。依附理论和后殖民分析说明了美国全球霸权表现出等级制度、控制海湾经济资源(石油)和扩展其“安全保护伞”(例如武器销售和基地)的方式——所有这些都是在高度不平等的动态中。对 2017 年利雅得峰会期间美国和沙特演讲的批判性话语分析进一步证实了这一评估。这提出了关于遵守承诺和互惠的联盟制定和联盟维护规范的问题。
