"Embargo Arab Saudi, Uni Emirat Arab, Bahrain, dan Mesir terhadap Qatar pada 5 Juni 2017 telah merugikan pihak Qatar dan memecah stabilitas GCC'. 'Terlibatnya Iran dan Turki di sisi Qatar membuat perpecahan GCC tidak dapat dihindari. Krisis ini sejatinya dipicu oleh anggapan Arab Saudi bahwa Qatar telah mendukung gerakan teroris yang membuat Arab Saudi mengundang seluruh negara GCC untuk memblokade Qatar, namun diantara negara-negara Teluk, Kuwait adalah satu-satunya negara yang menolak embargo tersebut dan memilih netral, bahkan memediasi krisis. Alasan penolakan Kuwait atas embargo Arab Saudi dan kepentingan Kuwait atas krisis akan dianalisis menggunakan teori neorealisme dan konsep hedging. Penulisan ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan analisis deskriptif-analitis. Menurut neorealist, netralitas dan mediasi Kuwait dalam krisis Teluk 2017 karena Kuwait ingin “survive” di GCC dan kawasan, mengingat ketrelibatkan Iran di sisi Qatar sedangkan Kuwait tidak ingin berkonflik dengan Iran. Berdasarkan strategi 'hedging', Kuwait melakukan 'indirect balancing' terhadap Arab Saudi seperti menolak pakta keamanan GCC 1981, menolak mengirim pasukan ke Bahrain 2011, dan menantang Saudi mengembangkan zona ekonomi di lima pulau yang melibatkan kehadiran Iran. Kuwait juga melakukan 'engagement' terhadap Qatar dengan memediasi krisis di Qatar pada 2014 dan 2017.

The Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt embargoes against Qatar on June 5, 2017 have harmed the Qatari side and have broken the stability of the GCC. The involvement of Iran and Turkey on the Qatari side has made GCC fragments unavoidable. This crisis was actually triggered by Saudi Arabia's perception that Qatar had supported a terrorist movement that made Saudi Arabia invite all GCC countries to blockade Qatar, but among the Gulf countries, Kuwait is the only country that rejects the embargo and chooses neutral, even mediating the crisis.The reasons for Kuwait's rejection of the Saudi Arabian embargo and Kuwait's interest in the crisis will be analyzed using the theory of neorealism and hedging concepts.

This writing uses a qualitative approach with descriptive-analytical analysis. The neorealist, neutrality and mediation of Kuwait in the 2017 Gulf crisis because Kuwait wants to "survive" in the GCC and the region, given Iran's involvement on the Qatar side while Kuwait does not want to conflict with Iran. Based on the hedging strategy, Kuwait undertakes indirect balancing of Saudi Arabia such as rejecting a security pact GCC 1981, refused send troops to Bahrain 2011, and challenge the Saudis to develop economic zones on five islands involving Iran's presence. Kuwait also engaged Qatar with mediating the crisis in Qatar in 2014 and 2017."

ABSTRACTAs the annual flood of published novels grows ever greater, it's a hard a job to keep up, let alone sort the wheat from the chaff. Fortunately, literary sleuth and academic John Sutherland is on hand to do precisely that. In the course of over 500 wittily informative pieces he gives us his own very personal take on the most rewarding, most remarkable and, on occasion, most shamelessly enjoyable works of fiction ever written - the perfect reading list for the would-be literary expert. His taste is impressively eclectic. An appreciation of Apuleius' The Golden Ass - arguably the first-ever novel - is followed by a consideration of Ian Fleming's Goldfinger. The Handmaid's Tale is followed by Hangover Square, Jane Eyre by Jaws. There are imposing Victorian novels, entertaining contemporary thrillers and everything in between, from dystopian works to romance. The flavour of each is brilliantly evoked and its relative merits or demerits assessed. At the same time, John Sutherland shows how the work fits into a broader context - whether that of the author's life or of other books from the same genre or period. And he offers endless snippets of intriguing information: did you know, for example, that the Nazis banned Bambi or that William Faulkner wrote As I Lay Dying on an upturned wheelbarrow; that Voltaire completed Candide in three days, or that Anna Sewell was paid GBP20 for Black Beauty? Encyclopedic and entertaining by turns, this is a wonderful dip-in book, whose opinions will inform and on occasion, no doubt, infuriate. It is also effectively a history of the novel in 500 or so bite-sized pieces. As the annual flow of novels grows ever greater, it's a hard job to keep up, let alone sort the wheat from the chaff. Fortunately John Sutherland is on hand to do precisely that for you, and in 500 wittily informative essays he introduces you to the very best of the world's fiction. There are imposing Victorian novels, entertaining contemporary thrillers and everything in between, from spy novels to romance. In each case a sense of the flavour of the novel is brilliantly evoked and a compelling case made for why it should be a candidate for the bookshelf or bedside table."
