Overview

American International Oil Policy offers an insight into the political mechanics of American international oil policy in the long decade from 1973 to early 1986, when oil prices were highly priced. It is furthermore the intention of the author to delineate the link from United States policy to the political organization of the international oil system. Written at a time when oil prices had recently shrunk, this book makes valuable and timely reading for those interested in the topic at a time when oil prices have sky-rocketed again. The book provides a fascinating insight into the effects of oil policy and pricing on American political life.
