An introduction by Alexander Haig is followed by essays titled: The Permanent Crisis: Change in the World Oil System; The American Response: On-the-Job Training; Western Europe: A Fragmented Response to a Fragmenting Order; The West in Concert: A Very Complex Score; Politics of Dependence: Western Europe and the Arab-Israeli Conflict; Oil on Troubled Waters: The Industrial World and the OPEC; Oil and Money: A Note on the Western Financial Community; and Getting Out of the Crisis: excerpt of interviews. 2 tables.
