Oil Companies in the International System (1978) provides an original and wide-ranging examination of the impact that the leading oil companies have had on international relations. It looks at the interplay between the oil companies and the governments of both the industrialised and oil-producing countries and asks to what extent the former have been beyond the control of these authorities. It pays particular attention to the oil industry’s relations with the consuming countries, and considers the oil companies’ importance in international politics.

Oil Companies in the International System

Report on trade relations trends and the role of developing countries in international markets - describes how developed countries (notably the EC countries) have reacted upon higher export volume growth rates of newly industrializing countries through setting up trade barriers and new forms of protectionism, and argues that sound international competition can better be achieved through GATT, production diversification, adjustment assistance, and appropriate trade policy and employment policies. Annotated bibliography pp. 52 and 53, and statistical tables.
