The Futile Pursuit of "Energy Security" by Military Force

Description

Abstract:
The article talks about the concerns on energy security in the United States. The author mentions that as concern has increased over the future sufficiency and increased risk of breakage in global oil supplies, energy security has become a primary U.S. foreign policy consideration. He states that the use of military force to safeguard the flow of oil has been distinct U.S. policy since early 1980.
