| book description |

In an era where energy security and critical minerals drive global power dynamics, the Persian Gulf is no longer just an oil hubâ€”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 Â
