Should the United States ask its military to guarantee the flow of
oil from the Persian Gulf? If the US security commitment is in fact
strategically sound, what posture should the military adopt to
protect Persian Gulf oil? Charles L. Glaser and Rosemary A. Kelanic
present a collection of new essays from a multidisciplinary team of
political scientists, historians, and economists that provide
answers to these questions. Contributors delve into a range of
vital economic and security issues: the economic costs of a
petroleum supply disruption, whether or not an American withdrawal
increases the chances of oil-related turmoil, the internal
stability of Saudi Arabia, budgetary costs of the forward
deployment of US forces, and the possibility of blunting the
effects of disruptions with investment in alternative energy
resources. The result is a series of bold arguments toward a
much-needed revision of US policy toward the Persian Gulf during an
era of profound change in oil markets and the balance of power in
the Middle East.
