Qatar Crisis and Challenges to GCC Unity

This paper argues that though the GCC, as a regional organisation, has been seen as a symbol of unity in this volatile region, the present crisis seems to have reached a status-quo that challenges the very unity of the organisation. This paper also argues that though there are still possibilities that diplomacy may succeed in bringing the neighbours to work in unison like before, post Qatar- blockade, the unity of the organisation will be a little shaky and will not revert back exactly to how it was before.
