The Dynamics of Power in the Persian Gulf 1971-2016: ISIS/DA'ISH and the Inevitability of a Fourth Gulf War
No full textDelivered as the Distinguished Faculty Lecture at SUU, March 3, 2016. There has been a progression of political instability in the Persian
Gulf region since the final withdrawal of British naval forces in 1971. No less than three wars have been fought in the gulf area, and each one of them in turn has been called The Gulf War to no conclusive end, and today any sense of stability is threatened by the rise of ISIS I DA'ISH, on the one hand, and the continuing discourse over Iran's nuclear program. Conceivably, either of these situations could give rise to yet a fourth gulf war. And suddenly the situation has been made even more complicated by Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation giving rise to concerns of a great power confrontation or a proxy war in the area. But the main danger, at this time is still primarily indigenous to the immediate area and its peoples, and focused on the fact that continued local conflict will allow the rise and growth of radical and militant sectarian groups such as ISIS/ DA'ISH and al-Qa'ida. Interestingly, it is this latter threat that has seized global attention rather than what would have been an overriding concern involving oil just a few years ago. The Persian Gulf remains one of the greatest repositories of oil in the world, but major economic powers like the United States have successfully weaned themselves from dependency on oil from this area. Nevertheless, the threat of a fourth gulf war, whatever the immediate cause or context, and there could be many, is a major concern, and, sadly, may prove to be inevitable given the existing dynamics of power in the region. But even as the inevitability of conflict seems overwhelming and the additional inevitability of Iran's growing, even ominous, presence in the Persian Gulf increases day by day, most recent diplomatic events in this region offer at least a chance for hope in this very troubled part of the world
