The factors underlying not only the problems connected with its acquisition, but also the role oil has played in the power structure of the world are shown in this third edition of Oil and World Power, the first being completed in January 1970. The author, being an economic geographer for Shell Oil Company, delineates the seven major oil companies' search for more oil and more markets for it, and their role in forming foreign policy for the governments of the major countries of the world. The World's Oil Industry is the title of the introductory chapter, followed by chapters entitled: The U.S.A. and World Oil; Soviet Oil Development; The Major Oil-Exporting Countries; Oil Policies in Western Europe; Japan: The World's Biggest Oil Importer; Dependence on Oil in the Developing World; Oil in International Relations and World Economic Development; and The World of Oil Power in 1974. Suggested readings related to information in each chapter are included. (MCW)
