The security of the oil-rich countries of the Middle East has traditionally been defined as a byproduct of the oil interests of the western great powers but the Middle East has also been evolving the main supply source for the rapidly growing economies in the Asia-Pacific region. In order to maintain their military presence in both Middle East and Asia-Pacific Region the foreign powers have always been exploiting the existing security fault lines both within and among the region’s nation states, but under the developing situation, the stability of these regions must be defined in terms other than the historical divide and rule manner or with the great powers as the military balancer.
