<p>Since Yemen has a history of border disputes with Saudi Arabia, this addresses the question of Yemen's role  in the security of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen suffers from a weak economy and a number of security issues of its  own. Through the borders shared with its GCC neighbors, Yemen has become plagued by a nexus of terrorism, arms  smuggling, and drug trafficking. Yet Yemen is unable to effectively combat these threats because of weak border  control and poor cooperation with its regional neighbors, which points to the issues of border control and  transnational cooperation within the GCC as an important area of research. The scope of the research will encompass  and scrutinize the role of borders and how terrorism flourishes through the Peninsula. That way, we can observe what  has been done to solve this security threat, and what could be done. The thesis will examine potential solutions to the  problems created by border security and a lack of cooperation, and will argue that a viable solution can be found by  Yemen joining the GCC in a united force. This would help insulate the Arabian Peninsula from the internal threats  facing it.
