Abstract:

Regional security complex theory provides analytical framework for security analysis of a certain world regions. This theory, advanced by Barry Buzan and Ole Weaver in their 2003 work Regions and Powers: The Structure of International Security is based on premise that security threats spread more easily to geographically closer territory. The theory says that there is security interdependence between countries that links them in to clusters; they build so called regional security complexes. The theory is influenced by social constructivism, especially through the theory of securitization. It is an intersubjective and socially constructed process. It argues, that the a topic will became a security threat through the process of securitization, that means a securitizing actor will label the topic as a threat . The aim of this study is applying the Regional security complexes theory for a case study: Arabian Peninsula and Horn of Africa. In this regional security complex the economic and military-political sector of security is examined. The analyses include the topics of piracy, terrorism, migration, trade, significant role of ports in the region. The particular states are presented with demographic, economic a historical overview (regional conflicts included) that is needed for the analysis. The work also focuses on the role of weak and failed states in the region, with the subtopic of clan and tribal society as an influence on the stability of the state. The security complex is constituted by two sub complexes, Horn of Africa and Arabian Peninsula. They have strong security interdependence in the military sector, in the economic there are relations between the countries in form of trade and investment, but no economic threats that links the countries together in a security complex.
