Oil in the New World Order

"High-quality readings on the development of the oil industry and oil markets in the post-Gulf War and post-Cold War era. I know of no other work that contains in one volume the range of articles covering subjects of current interest in the political economy of the petroleum market."--Kenneth A. Stammerman, U.S. State Department, on staff at the Center for National Security Studies"Covers some of the most critical aspects of the oil industry as well as the policies of many of the leading producers of crude oil."--Mohsen M. Milani, University of South Florida
