As these axioms are repeated across policy and scholarly debates, sheer repetition is taken as evidence of fact. Vitalis explicates what work these false beliefs about oil and geopolitics do today in US policy and scholarship. We can either continue to remain fixed on the state's wholly unnecessary defense of access, or we can extricate ourselves from it and concentrate instead on oilcraft's all too real effects"-- Petroleum industry and trade Political aspects Persian Gulf Region Geopolitics Persian Gulf Region Energy policy United States Diplomatic relations fast Energy policy fast Geopolitics fast Petroleum industry and trade Political aspects fast Strategic aspects of individual places fast Erdölwirtschaft (DE-588)4152707-0 gnd Energiepolitik (DE-588)4014715-0 gnd Ressourcenpolitik (DE-588)4177874-1 gnd Versorgungssicherheit (DE-588)7839944-0 gnd United States Foreign relations Persian Gulf Region Persian Gulf Region Foreign relations United States Persian Gulf Region Strategic aspects USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd Middle East Persian Gulf Region fast United States fast Electronic books BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 acq-record IDSBB A125 A125 125F1 UBW_QR_534 94 NELA1252010 IDSBB 100 1- Vitalis Robert 1955- (DE-588)132942844 Verfasser aut SWISSBIB 588437425
