Eo biển Hormuz thường chỉ xuất hiện dày đặc trên truyền thông khi Trung Đông nóng lên. Nhưng nếu nhìn từ góc độ logistics và cấu trúc thương mại quốc tế, Hormuz không phải một “biến cố mới” mà là một lời nhắc lặp đi lặp lại về điểm yếu cố hữu của toàn cầu hóa: quá nhiều hàng hóa, năng lượng và dòng lưu chuyển chiến lược của thế giới vẫn phải đi qua quá ít cửa ngõ.
