new agenda for analyzing security matters. Henry Kissinger, who became aware of
the issue in September 1975, asserted that pursuing the traditional agenda was
insufficient as novel and unexpected issues have entered the agenda, namely energy,
resources, the environment, population, and the use of space and sea. These are currently aligned with issues of military security of ideology and territorial competition
(Taheri and RostamAgai 2016:22).
This school of security has been studied at various levels, but in some respects, it
has been more focused and innovative. A narrow-minded plan is one of these in
order to develop security dimensions, the security concept of making topics that are
further investigated by Bozan and Weaver. For this purpose, the survival concepts
have an existential threat. The concept of existential threat addresses that which
threatens the entity’s intended subject and endangers it with the risk of destruction
or vulnerability (Taheri and RostamAgai 2016:28).
Structural Realism
Structural defensive realism is a theory developed by K. N Waltz. In Theory of
International Politics, published in 1979, Waltz effectively identified the guidelines
for international relations as they would take form throughout the 1980s. Waltz’s
work can be divided into three segments: his method, his fundamental response to
critics of realism, and the results. Waltz’s methodology emanates from his conception of theory. In his view, the quality of a theory can be judged according to its
observability in light of superior theories and its repetition, or return, through
behavioral patterns over time. For Waltz, the governing model of international relations is the balance of power. Therefore, a good theory of international relations is a
theory which explains how balance is struck (Waltz 1997:65).
Kenneth Waltz
Waltz, in the theory of neorealism, focuses on how capabilities are distributed
within the structure of the international system. In terms of capabilities, it is the
material resources of power that, according to Waltz, indicate the position of governments in the international distribution of power. Among the constituent elements
of power, according to Waltz, the most important factor of a country that determines
how relations with other countries are is military power (Waltz 1997:33).
The way energy security is approached by the US is also important, which can be
examined through the theory of “realism.” According to this theory, hegemonic
power must preserve its domination over the structure of the world political economy through three ways namely domination over energy resources, domination of
free market trends, and the preservation of the international monetary and financial
system. Meanwhile, energy and the main routes of energy transmission, as one of
