Title Oil - Motif and Weapon in Armed Conflicts
 
Creator Costianu, Mirela
 
Description Natural resources have always played a key role in the conflicts and wars that already took place and they always will. These fights are often caused by the scarcity and huge value of the resources such as diamonds, copper, gold, water, wood, arable lands and oil. Among them, the oil is a vital resource for industry and national economies and, because of the global influences, as Yergin said [1], the oil history has always been associated to the history of fights and wars.Billon [2] thinks that the natural resources have always been a critical motif of conflicts and wars and the politic and economic vulnerabilities of the nations addicted to them are the main reason in starting wars. From this point of view, the geopolitical thinking in the west, regarding the resources, has established a strong and equal relation between power, trade and war that have also related to the maritime navigation and resources overseas.
