Geography as Destiny: A Look at Hormuz and Other Choke Points
Geography as Destiny: A Look at Hormuz and Other Choke Points
A relatively lightweight military power, Iran, has throttled the world economy by capitalizing on its geography, the Strait of Hormuz. Is geography destiny? The answer is “no,” we should not take “destiny” too seriously; but at the same time, we tend not to take geographical influences seriously enough. In this talk I examine the meaning of geography as destiny in terms of Hormuz and various maritime choke points.
