Abstract

The dependence of the United States and its principal allies on oil from the Persian Gulf has brought with it a number of increasingly obvious and serious problems. Assessments of the extent of these problems and the merits of potential solutions have become critical national security con­ cerns. For the past two years a group of researchers from acrqss the nation, organized by Pan Heuristics, has studied the economic, political, and mili­ tary dimensions of problems accompanying dependence on oil from the Persian Gulf. Pan Heuristics issued its first comprehensive Report on Persian Gulf Oil and Western Security to the Department of Energy on November 4, 1980 (1). In that report political trends in the Persian Gulf area are reviewed by Khalilzad & Samore (2, 3); Wohlstetter and Brody describe the resulting threat to the West and potential political-military responses (4, 5); Henry Rowen & John Weyant attempt to quantify the economic effects of oil supply interruptions (6); and a number of energy policy responses to the economic problems caused by dependence on oil imports and by the threat of oil supply interruptions are explored by Rowen, Weyant, Missner.
