Overview

We might think the world's oil empires are invincible megaliths, dominated by American interests, but Duncan Clarke reveals the ways in which these empires will face huge challenges in the twenty-first century. Based on razor-sharp analysis of contemporary geopolitics a deep knowledge of global history, he shows exactly why these empires are declining. He explains where the new empires of oil will be around the world; which of the hidden threats and unknown enemies are and will be the most serious; and where companies have gone wrong and can improve their global strategies. Empires of Oil reveals how the world will change because of global battles over the commodity that underpins our lives.

'A must read antidote to the gloom and doom conclusions of oil scarcity. Effectively undermines the validity of the theory of Peak Oil and comprehensively demolishes the arguments of its proponents.' Peter R. Odell, Professor Emeritus of International Energy

'A must read antidote to the gloom and doom conclusions of oil scarcity. Effectively undermines the validity of the theory of Peak Oil and comprehensively demolishes the arguments of its proponents.' Peter R. Odell, Professor Emeritus of International Energy'...a triumph and will be read by many beyond the energy sector. Erudite, convincing and grounded in Clarke's experience of life in the oil-producing countries on the fringes of Western influence, Empires of Oil will command a place on the shelf devoted to other classics of international energy politics.' - The Petroleum Economist
