Original: Opinion | The Diminishing Returns of Choke-Point Diplomacy

The argument suggests that leveraging narrow maritime or geographic passages for political pressure is losing effectiveness, as states adapt and alternative routes or arrangements emerge. The piece is prompting debate about the future of this approach to foreign policy and global trade security.
Why now: Ongoing geopolitical tensions over strategic trade routes have put choke-point diplomacy back in the spotlight.
