Abstract

The structure of governments in the West Asian region, which is part of the civilization of the Islamic world, faces major challenges in governance, and due to the fundamental differences between Islamic political thought and Western humanist political thought, Islamic countries are well on their way. They do not adopt regional governance. Meanwhile, the geopolitical region of Southwest Asia and the countries bordering the Persian Gulf are no exception.
In the years leading up to 2020, for example, the geopolitical region of Southwest Asia has undergone many changes due to some geopolitical factors, such as the efforts of some Arab countries to form a pregnant Arab military coalition. The mentioned Arab military coalition, which is planned and pursued under the influence of geopolitical issues in the region, can be evaluated and analyzed by looking at the position of the three components of nation, nationality and identity in Islam, a process that is influenced by world developments. Modern has been adopted and is indifferent to the past history of the Islamic world and the basic concepts of this religion.
The present study believes that although the concepts in Islamic political thought and its religious teachings provide ideal opportunities for the production and maintenance of security, the strong influence of the Islamic world on Western political thought does not allow for such decisions. The security situation in the geopolitical region of Southwest Asia has deprived it of permanent stability and security.
