Is the Arab Gulf's pivot to Asia only about China? Think again. While Beijing dominates the headlines, players like Japan, South Korea, India, and ASEAN nations have quietly built deep, highly strategic relationships with the GCC.

Over the past two decades, our alumni have built careers across sectors, from @BCG and @Visa to ventures like @AgriCope and roles at Qatar Investment Authority.

A five-year look shows a clear pattern. Our graduates are competitive, high-performing, and many take the initiative to build something of their own as well.

The limits of regional power: what the GCC can and cannot do https://t.co/urk92G9kSp @SmallStates_GUQ @GUQatar @GulfTimes_QATAR

Regional generalizations are a mistake. Even neighbors have vastly different security priorities. Yet, all face the same challenge: building resilience against hybrid & conventional shocks. Traditional alliances are no longer enough. Multipolarity & new tech demand we modernize. Read the full article by @RoryDavidMiller here: https://t.co/6Sek8jRpCh

The global security landscape is shifting. A sobering new report from PRIO reveals that 2025 saw the highest number of interstate conflicts since 1946.
This is a stark warning for the UN’s 108 small states. Read Dr. @RoryDavidMiller’s full take on their role: https://t.co/U2IHtojY5d

In @ForeignPolicy, Professor Paul Musgrave argues the Iran war may be a bigger U.S. setback than Vietnam, calling it a “war of choice” with lasting political and military fallout shaping perceptions of American power.

In @AlShabaka’s latest roundtable, GU-Q Practitioner-in-Residence @DianaButtu discusses how the regional war is reshaping US–Israel–Gulf ties:

“The issue is no longer normalization, but creating a regional order that compels these countries to deal with the Zionist state—because the only way to reach the U.S. is through it.”

She argues the priority is now regional dominance—not just military, but economic and political supremacy, including weakening Gulf influence.

Global energy supply chains have become active battlefields. From the Black Sea to Malta, drone warfare is colliding directly with Russia’s massive sanctions evasion program.
Prof. @RoryDavidMiller breaks down how this is redefining maritime security: https://t.co/IqAGiK6mpg

Who writes the rules for the Arctic’s future?
As US dominance declines relative to others, Russia, China, and key European actors are challenging the status quo in the Frozen North.

Geopolitics, finance, and security are officially fused. The US Dept. of War just built a critical-minerals team of bankers and traders to fight the rare-earths war. China has a multi-decade head start, but Washington is finally waking up. Read the full article in @GulfTimes_QATAR by Prof. @RoryDavidMiller to learn more:

Six African Leadership Academy graduates from Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia, Uganda, Senegal and Cameroon chose @GUQatar over more traditional paths. At Education City, their journeys spanned music, diplomacy, fieldwork, legal studies, and student leadership. The Class of 2026 also mentored the eight ALA students who followed in their footsteps, building a growing bridge between #Africa and #Doha. Tap the link in bio to read their stories.

@GulfTimes_QATAR has announced a new group of international journalists, academics, and media professionals who will be contributing regular analysis and commentary, and it is a strong addition to their editorial mix.

At a moment when the Gulf is investing heavily in AI, data infrastructure, and clean tech, this kind of perspective feels especially needed. There is a tendency to focus on scale and speed, but the more difficult question is what actually makes a country durable and influential in the tech space over time.

Among the new contributors is our own @RoryDavidMiller, GU-Q Professor of International Politics, whose first article takes a step back and asks a useful question for the Gulf right now: what can smaller states actually teach us about building real tech power?
