Between The Two Countries In The Middle East Oil On The Issue Of Conflict Analysis

Energy security is the most important in oil security. Energy security, especially oil energy security, is a matter of national security. The reasonable energy prices and sufficient energy supply the same oil is oil energy security two factors.The International Energy Political System is in a state of anarchy. There is no world government dictating the distribution of scarce and unevenly located energy resources especially oil, so the energy consuming countries, whose oil needs exceed their own supply capacities and have to depend on imported oil, must "self-help " in the pursuit of energy security.As two energy consumption, China and Japan depend on the foreign oil seriously, oil energy strategy of the two countries is the priority of the national security strategy. In similar energy security dilemma, the two countries use self-help to formulate their oil energy strategy. At the same time, in international political system of energy, there is not a the world government to guarantee the oil security of each country. And oil field is limited, countries can only rely on their own to maintain their own energy security. So,"self-help" will be chosen. Such as, after China take self-help to ensure safe, Japan will regard its energy security that will be reduced. This has prompted Japan to take corresponding measures "self-help", the result is everyone feel less safe. So, constantly "self-help"produce constantly competition in the competition conflict is inevitable.At present, the conflicts between the two countries in oil energy security strategy is more and more competitive, especially in the Middle East oil field. Japan and China, which are the energy consumers in similar energy security dilemma, have the conflict including the oil import and oil production. First of all, the two countries’oil resources sources has an amazing convergence, oil external dependence is extremely high, and is mainly in the Middle East. China advocates through win-win cooperation, energy cooperation with Japan accord with China’s strategy. But for Japan, China’s import of oil will break the Middle East oil output pattern.At the same time, based on structural realism "relative income" theory, for Japan, the energy cooperation will enhance China’s energy security. This relative interests can damage the Japanese national interest. So,Japan will choose competition rather than cooperation.But, the main players in international energy political system are highly interdependent.In international energy political system,"a main character is dependent on each other." This is decided by the global energy markets, especially the integration of the oil market. In the world,the interdependence between countries have greatly increased, the sense of independence and self-help is nearly impossible, the mutual cooperation between countries has become an inevitable trend. No matter whether Japan admit or accept, an energy cooperation between Japan and the objective necessity and basic already exists. The two countries should follow the pragmatic, from point to surface, gradually strengthen trust cooperation. joint negotiation for the price of oil should be the breakthrough point.
