The longevity and depth of regional challenges in the Middle East have elevated political and security concerns to a new level within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) in recent years. Three conflicting worldviews have confronted one another, resulting in debilitating consequences for the region. Increasing fragmentation of Arab politics, in turn, has engendered attempts at enforced Arab unity that have ultimately failed, further dividing and destabilizing the regional order. This article delineates the background of the Gulf crisis of 2017 within the broader context of the Arab Spring and analyzes the ensuing attempts at mediation, the US role in the region, political developments in Kuwait and Oman, normalization efforts with Israel, and the recent resolution of the Gulf crisis by examining various actors’ political roles.

海湾新秩序：危机、调解与和解

近年来，中东地区挑战的持久性和深度已将海湾合作委员会（GCC）内部的政治和安全问题提升到一个新的水平。三种相互冲突的世界观相互对抗，给该地区造成了破坏性的后果。反过来，阿拉伯政治的日益分裂导致了加强阿拉伯统一的尝试，但最终失败了，进一步分裂和破坏了地区秩序。本文在更广泛的阿拉伯之春背景下描绘了 2017 年海湾危机的背景，并分析了随后的调解尝试、美国在该地区的作用、科威特和阿曼的政治发展、与以色列的正常化努力以及最近的决议通过考察不同参与者的政治角色来了解海湾危机。
