USA, China, and India’s Geo-economic Pursuit in the Persian Gulf, Subtitle

In an era where energy security and critical minerals drive global power dynamics, the Persian Gulf is no longer just an oil hub—it is the new battleground for strategic influence. Triad of Influence analyses the geo-economic engagement of the USA, China, and India in the region, evaluating how their foreign policy patterns shape their competition for resources and power.The book classifies the geo-economic typologies of these three nations based on their power status quo and policy approaches:The USA, as a great power, follows a neo-imperialist policy to maintain regional hegemony.China, a challenging power, adopts opportunistic strategies to counter or replace U.S. dominance.India, an emerging power, pursues gradual engagement, potentially positioning itself as a future contender against both.By exploring these competing strategies through the lenses of Geoeconomics, Political Geography, and International Relations, the book offers a comprehensive timeline of geo-economic approaches and strategic engagements in the Gulf. With its critical insights into foreign policy, trade alliances, and resource diplomacy, this book is a valuable resource for researchers, academicians, and policymakers navigating the complexities of global power shifts in the 21st century
