Abstract
Whereas there is much of attention for the Arab Spring, the conflict in the small Gulf island of Bahrain
receives considerable less attention in science, media, and policy. The limited publications that have
appeared present a gap between reports about the current situation and a scientific understanding of the
protests and chances for resolution; and theories and policy on this. This research aimed to reduce this
gap by thoroughly analyzing the causes of the protests and linking these to which causes were addressed
by selected international actors. In doing so, reflections were made on the used theories and policy of
these actors. The research question was:
What caused the uprisings in Bahrain in February 2011 and how have these causes been addressed by
international actors, The Netherlands in particular?
