Abstract

Since thousands of years ago, seas and straits have become world trade routes. The sea carries out the exchange of goods and trade. The purpose of this article is to explain the mastery of the potential of the strait; It has implications for the glory of the country that controls it. Through an asymmetrical analysis, colonials' domination of the straits is relatively safer than areas controlled by regional countries. Sea lanes between islands and between continents are strategic resources that can be exploited by anyone who occupies them. The Hormuz Strait and the Malacca Strait are clear examples of how vital the strait is for the movement of goods and trade routes involving many national interests. On that basis, many conflicts occurred in these two straits. The traditional approach and realism in viewing the conflict in the two straits prove that, in the end, every country or country with interest will have an ego to dominate. The conflicts that occur in the two straits are border and resource conflicts.
