Few issues in international affairs and energy security animate
thinkers more than the classic topic of hegemony, and the case of
the Persian Gulf presents particularly fertile ground for
considering this concept. Since the 1970s, the region has undergone
tumultuous changes, with dramatic shifts in the diplomatic,
military, and economic roles of the United States, China, and
Russia. In this book, Steve A. Yetiv and Katerina Oskarsson offer a
panoramic study of hegemony and foreign powers in the Persian Gulf,
offering the most comprehensive, data-driven portrait to date of
their evolving relations. The authors argue that the United States
has become hegemonic in the Persian Gulf, ultimately protecting oil
security for the entire global economy. Through an analysis of
official and unofficial diplomatic relations, trade statistics,
military records, and more, they provide a detailed account of how
U.S. hegemony and oil security have grown in tandem, as,
simultaneously, China and Russia have increased their political and
economic presence. The book sheds light on hegemony's complexities,
and challenges and reveals how local variations in power will
continue to shape the Persian Gulf in the future.
