Title: The structure of the international oil industry in the 1980s

Book ·
OSTI ID:5780816

An analysis is given of the strategy of international oil companies in relation to the Arab world since the momentous changes in their respective positions in the 1970s and the policies of oil importing countries, including the limits of ''government to government'' deals. On this basis of this analysis, the author constructs alternative scenarios on the evolution of the industry that are based on further disintegration or reintegration. In the case of reintegration, he offers an in-depth definition of its political and strategic implications for OPEC, the relations between oil exporters and importers, and relations among the U.S., Europe, and the Arab world.
