Maintaining the security of free flow of energy from the Persian Gulf is one of the reasons that America gives for its military presence in this region. The region’s trade volume with America, and its allies such as Europe, Japan, and South Korea is high. But the United States is reluctant to allow its allies to expand their respective ties with the region that would reach a similar level with the U.S. posi- tion. This is because America’s dominance over the Persian Gulf’s hydrocarbon resources is among its priorities. Obviously through this dominant status, the U.S. can maintain its dominance over the global economy. Moreover stability of the oil prices is also important to the United States because any rise in oil prices can affect the economy of American allies and consequently spread through the whole indus- trial world. As it has been stipulated in 2015 American National Security Strategy, undoubtedly ensuring secu- rity for free flow of energy from the Persian Gulf to the world will remain among U.S. reasons for its military presence in this region. Given the build up of its military power in the Persian Gulf, its future military presence in this region to dominate the rivals is inevitable. Therefore, despite the Pivot to Asia strategy and the continued importance of Asia-Pacific region, U.S. will remain interested in the Persian Gulf region. We find that this strategy is not in contrast with the result of our study. Here the research question is the impact of American military presence in the Persian Gulf region on the energy security of East Asian countries during the period of our study. American officials claim that the maintaining security of free flow of energy, supporting allies, combating terrorism as well as WMD are among their reasons for their presence in the region, but the main hypothesis of this study is that America is deter- mined to be in control of the region’s hydrocarbon resources and keeping international rivals and allies away from them. This research tests this hypothesis.
Abstract
Maintaining the security of free flow of energy from the Persian Gulf is one of the reasons that America gives for its military presence in this region. The region’s trade volume with America, and its allies such as Europe, Japan, and South Korea is high. But the United States is reluctant to allow its allies to expand their respective ties with the region that would reach a similar level with the U.S. posi- tion. This is because America’s dominance over the Persian Gulf’s hydrocarbon resources is among its priorities. Obviously through this dominant status, the U.S. can maintain its dominance over the global economy. Moreover stability of the oil prices is also important to the United States because any rise in oil prices can affect the economy of American allies and consequently spread through the whole indus- trial world. As it has been stipulated in 2015 American National Security Strategy, undoubtedly ensuring secu- rity for free flow of energy from the Persian Gulf to the world will remain among U.S. reasons for its military presence in this region. Given the build up of its military power in the Persian Gulf, its future military presence in this region to dominate the rivals is inevitable. Therefore, despite the Pivot to Asia strategy and the continued importance of Asia-Pacific region, U.S. will remain interested in the Persian Gulf region. We find that this strategy is not in contrast with the result of our study. Here the research question is the impact of American military presence in the Persian Gulf region on the energy security of East Asian countries during the period of our study. American officials claim that the maintaining security of free flow of energy, supporting allies, combating terrorism as well as WMD are among their reasons for their presence in the region, but the main hypothesis of this study is that America is deter- mined to be in control of the region’s hydrocarbon resources and keeping international rivals and allies away from them. This research tests this hypothesis.
