Atlantic Cooperation for Gulf Security.

Abstract

U.S. efforts to develop a defense capability for the Gulf have been extensive and costly but they do not offer the U.S.-- or the Europeans -- much cause for confidence. The challenge is a vital and formidable one yet, oddly enough, has been almost ignored in a U.S. - European dialogue that is minimal and pro forma. Europeans, among themselves consider it hardly at all. This paper discusses the reason for this lapse, as well as some developments that provide hope that the essential discussions can begin toward a workable Atlantic security strategy for crucial Gulf oil flows. Some mechanisms and an agenda for critical military elements are outlined to initiate U.S. - European cooperation. (Author)
