Abstract

From the Gulf’s point of view, the Western Balkans is a lucrative destination: in desperate economical need and offering a very suitable environment for investment. However, the recent boom in the interregional relations cannot be explained only by looking at both sides’ appetite for mutual commercial gain. Particularly, for the rich Gulf countries the region offers some other opportunities to sustain and reinforce further their international economic and political profile as well. The study aims at unfolding the basic leitmotivs behind the growing interest of the Gulf countries to the Western Balkans as well as the course of interregional relations since the beginning of the 2000s.

Özet

Körfez ülkeleri açısından Batı Balkanlar ekonomik ihtiyaçları ve sunmuş olduğu yatırım olanaklar düşünüldüğünde çok karlı bir hedeftir. Bununla birlikte, günümüzde iki bölge arasındaki ilişkilerde patlama her iki tarafın kar güdüsüyle açıklanamaz. Özellikle Körfez ülkeleri açısından bölge uluslararası ekonomik ve de siyasal profillerini muhafaza etmek hatta daha yükseltmek açısından diğer bazı olanaklar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma Körfez ülkeleri ile Batı Balkanlar arasında 2000’lerin başından itibaren başlayan ilişkilerinin yanısıra tarafların birbirlerine olan ilgilerinin ardındaki temel saikleri gün ışığına çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır.
