With the breakup of the Soviet Union and the growing links between
the Caucasus, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East, a
strategic map of the region is emerging with far-reaching
implications for the United States and other major powers. Geoffrey
Kemp and Robert Harkavy argue that increasing demand for Persian
Gulf and Caspian Basic energy, especially from the booming Asian
economies, ensures that the Middle East will remain a global
strategic prize and source of continued rivalry. At the same time,
radical changes in conventional military technology and the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, along with the
specter of megaterrorism, present ominous future possibilities in
relation to both warfare scenarios involving the Arab-Israel,
Iran-Iraq, and India-Pakistan conflicts and the potential need for
U.S. interventions. The authors likewise signal the region's
positive potential. The Middle East has the capacity to move toward
a more constructive and peaceful future. Intra-regional proposals
already exist for joint infrastructure projects, shared oil and gas
pipelines, and improved transportation and communication grids
linking the region to Europe. These proposals could usher in a new
era of prosperity and cooperation. A wealth of information is made
very accessible through the use of 36 maps detailing the region's
history, geography, energy resources, military conflict zones and
basing infrastructure, as well as roads and rail and water routes.
