Abstract

This article studies American strategy toward CHINA in the PERSIAN GULF to answer the question that what policy the UNITED STATES as the hegemon power has followed toward CHINA's increasing energy-dependency in the PERSIAN GULF. Has the UNITED STATES followed a liberal policy and cooperated with CHINA. Or it has followed the realist policy of containment and confrontation. This study through theoretical frameworks of liberal and realist versions of hegemonic stability theory, has argued that American strategy has been "Guarded Engagement" or a combination of both realist and liberal approaches. Washington has cooperated with CHINA with respect of economy; but strategically and in response to post-9/11 crises, the war against Iraq and especially the nuclear programs of Iran, Washington has decisively tried to control CHINA and to make Beijing follow American policies. In long term, the intrinsic paradox in GUARDED ENGAGEMENT STRATEGY has undermined American hegemony in the PERSIAN GULF and its grand policy toward CHINA. As CHINA's relations with PERSIAN GULF countries expand, Beijing has followed its own interests more assertively; accordingly it has growing more difficult for the UNITED STATES to control and contain Beijing in the framework of American policies.
