Pachauri, R K

The most surprising thing about OPEC is not the disparate character of its members or its often exaggerated impact on the world economy, but the fact that the 13 nations have stayed together so long. Despite efforts by the US and European Community to secure immunity from OPEC, two thirds of internationally traded oil comes from OPEC producers. The reviewer recommends Pachauri's comprehensive discussion of long-term political and economic framework to the general reader, but finds the conclusions humdrum. He takes issues with the author's sense of gloom.
