INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
What Will Come of the EU-GCC Relationship?

On October 16, the European Union and Gulf Cooperation Council met in Brussels, Belgium for their first joint summit. Here, world leaders from Europe and the Middle East discussed ways to deepen the relationship between the two regions, including multilateral measures regarding trade, energy, and defense. This type of international collaboration is only effective in proportion to how much shared interest can be agreed upon by all members. What does that mean for the EU-GCC partnership?
