United States Oil Dependence - Security Implications and Strategic Solutions (Paperback)

US dependence on oil produces a variety of national security and economic vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could result in widespread economic disorder and increased global instability. This paper will highlight these vulnerabilities and recommend the development of pragmatic national policy strategies to hedge against these vulnerabilities and reduce the risk. Unless the US makes strides to reduce it's reliance on foreign oil, the US will continue military interventions to maintain current and future supplies of oil. This paper will insist the US focus include energy into every facet of strategic policy making. Only through the inclusion of energy issues into every strategic decision making processes can the US develop comprehensive, integrated energy and foreign policy strategies. All agencies of the US government should elevate their analysis of the risks and draft strategies protecting the US against them.
