Al-Sowayegn, A

This book argues that oil is important to the Arab world both as an instrument for economic development and as an element of political influence. It explains the Arab oil policy in recent years both in economic terms and as political leverage to support Arab demands. Its main thesis is that the oil crisis is inextricably part of the Arab-Israeli conflict despite the tendency amongst Western Middle East specialists to separate the oil question from the Palestinian issue.
