The 'Strategic Record of the Gulf Scene 2017–2021' by Fahd bin Abdulrahman Al Thani chronicles the major transformations in the Gulf Cooperation Council during five turbulent years, from the Gulf crisis (2017) and the repercussions of the blockade to the Al-Ula reconciliation (2021), analyzing its impact on regional security, economy, and energy.

The book discusses the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, oil market fluctuations, regional and international power rivalries, the paths of the Yemen war, tensions with Iran, and the shift in Washington's priorities between the Trump and Biden administrations. It also explores contexts of national development visions and energy transition.

Utilizing a descriptive-analytical approach supported by charts and indicators, it provides actionable political summaries for decision-makers and researchers, highlighting the opportunities and limits of Gulf cooperation post-Al-Ula.
