Emirates Projects presents another article from contributor Simon Lewis, Founder and CEO of 3D ACTIO and Vistage UAE Chair, a business leader and advisor specializing in leadership development, growth strategy, and organizational transformation.
“In my latter years in the military in the 1980s, part of my ongoing education was studying the world’s economic hot spots and responding to a hard question: where might conflict break out, and what force would be needed to protect trade, economic stability, and allies? One of those places was the Strait of Hormuz. The lessons from the Aden Emergency in the 1960s and the Oman conflict that ran into the mid-1970s were plain enough: this is a hard region to control by force, and even harder to control cheaply. My own high-level view, then and now, is simple: better that politicians solve Hormuz through serious dialogue than have the military try to police it at great cost.”
