Prospects for the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea in 2018-22.
Significance
Rooted in centuries of common history and cultural exchanges, links between the Gulf states and the Horn of Africa have intensified in the decade since the global financial crisis of 2008-09, creating new dynamics across the Gulf of Aden. In the years ahead, deepening trade and investment in agriculture, livestock and infrastructure -- in particular -- are likely to underpin an ever-more-complex web of political and military relationships, with fracturing lines of alliance and enmity shaped by security issues.
