Arab Oil Policies in the 1970s Opportunity and Responsibility

Arab Oil Policies in the 1970s Opportunity and Responsibility

Until 1973 few people either in the advanced industrial countries or in the developing countries of the Third World thought seriously on the issues and complexities involved in the production and marketing of the oil on which they relied. It was only with the sudden steep increases in oil prices that the oil industry became a matter of general discussion and the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) became a front page topic for analysis and comment. However real understanding of the organisation and its policies did not accompany this rush of interest and much confusion has followed. In particular the Arab exporters have received the weight of the criticism although they have only a share in the market and not a monopoly. This book attempts to instil a greater mutual understanding between oil exporters and importers although it is not a wholesale endorsement of Arab policies by outlining the major policy areas in this field. It looks at new policy options and their implications in exploration marketing and pricing and at downstream operations such as the petrochemical and gas industries. In conclusion this study identifies the wide-ranging opportunities that the new oil policies have opened up for the Arab countries in the national regional and international context and assesses and clarifies the responsibilities which accompany this success. First published in 1983. | Arab Oil Policies in the 1970s Opportunity and Responsibility

Oil and Modern World Dramas From Petro-Mania to Petro-Melancholia

Oil and Modern World Dramas From Petro-Mania to Petro-Melancholia

The first to focus on the (re-)presentations of oil in dramatic literature theatre and performance Oil and Modern World Dramas is a pioneering volume in the emerging field of Oil Literatures and Cultures and the more established field of World Literatures. Through close analysis Fakhrkonandeh demonstrates how these dramatic works depict oil both in its perceived nature and character as an overdetermined matter/sign/object: a symbol (of freedom autonomy speed wealth modernity enlightenment) a commodity a social-cultural agent a social relation and a hyper-object. This book is also distinguished by its innovative and critically manifold conceptual framework positing the petro-literatures and petro-cultures an inextricable part of a global network. Oil and Modern World Dramas not only demonstrates how the chosen works of petro-drama manifest these concepts in their social-political vision aesthetics and historical-ontological dynamics but also reveals how they deploy such assemblage-based approaches both as a cartographical means and aesthetic method for exposing the systemic (Capitalocenic) nature of petro-capitalist exploitation and as means of proposing ways of resistance and producing alternative modes of subjectivity community relationality and economy. | Oil and Modern World Dramas From Petro-Mania to Petro-Melancholia

Transport Revolutions Moving People and Freight Without Oil

Transport Revolutions Moving People and Freight Without Oil

First released in 2007 the bestselling Transport Revolutions argued that land transport in the first half of the 21st century will feature at least two revolutions. One will involve the use of electric drives rather than internal combustion engines. Another will involve powering many of these drives directly from the electric grid - as trains and trolley buses are powered today - rather than from on-board fuel. Now available for the first time in paperback and updated with the most recent data it sets out the challenges to our growing dependence on transport fuelled by low-priced oil. These challenges include an early peak in world oil production and profound climate change resulting in part from oil use. It proposes responses to ensure effective secure movement of people and goods in ways that make the best use of renewable sources of energy while minimizing environmental impacts. Synthesizing engineering economics environment organization policy and technology in a detailed yet highly readable style Transport Revolutions is essential reading for anyone working studying or interested in transport and the environment. | Transport Revolutions Moving People and Freight Without Oil

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

For well over half a century since the first credible warnings of petroleum depletion were raised in the 1950s contemporary industrial civilization has been caught in a remarkable paradox: a culture more focused on problem solving than any other has repeatedly failed to deal with or even consider the problem most likely to bring its own history to a full stop. The coming of peak oil-the peaking and irreversible decline of world petroleum production-poses an existential threat to societies in which every sector of the economy depends on petroleum-based transport and no known energy source can scale up extensively or quickly enough to replace dwindling oil supplies. Not The Future We Ordered is the first study of the psychological dimensions of that decision and its consequences as a case study in the social psychology of collective failure and as an issue with which psychologists and therapists will be confronted repeatedly in the years ahead. | Not the Future We Ordered Peak Oil Psychology and the Myth of Progress

Behind the Mask Regulating Health and Safety in Britain's Offshore Oil and Gas Industry

Behind the Mask Regulating Health and Safety in Britain's Offshore Oil and Gas Industry

This title was first published n 2000: The most recent developments in occupational health and safety regulation in the UK’s offshore oil industry represent a departure from traditional legal forms. But how should they best be understood and what advantages do they offer over the previous regulatory approaches? Informed by autopoiesis theory this study takes seriously the notion of an empirical field constituted by diverse communicative systems and thus traces the development of the industry along a series of dimensions including those of management and engineering as well as of politics and regulation. Adapting cognitive mapping the book offers graphic demonstrations of the resultant constructive misunderstandings of regulatory and scientific signals and accordingly an alternative perspective on the nature of risk. The latest regulatory developments are shown to possess the potential to address these issues but only insofar as they are understood as distinct from previous legal forms and in particular as an example of reflexive law. | Behind the Mask Regulating Health and Safety in Britain's Offshore Oil and Gas Industry

Soviet Perceptions Of The Oil Factor In U.s. Foreign Policy The Middle Eastgulf Region

Soviet Perceptions Of The Oil Factor In U.s. Foreign Policy The Middle Eastgulf Region

How Soviet leaders perceive U. S. intentions capabilities and actions plays an important role in the formation of the Soviet Union's foreign policy and its relations with the United States. This book focuses on one set of Soviet perceptions-how the oil shortages and subsequent developments influenced U. S. policy in the Middle East-Gulf region and what the implications of that policy are for the Soviet Union. Although the 1973 energy crisis and related events all represented severe blows to Washington there were costs for Moscow as well; negative developments for one superpower says Dr. Sawyer do not necessarily result in unadulterated gains for the other. Emphasizing this theme he assesses Soviet perceptions of the 1973 energy crisis and the intensification of U. S. interest in the Middle East-Gulf region; the Camp David accords and the Egyptian-Israeli Treaty; the impact of the Iranian revolution on U. S. and Soviet positions in the region; the effect of the Soviet invasion of Afganistan on U. S. policy; the Iraqi-Iranian war; and the Soviet response to Washington's concern over U. S. energy vulnerability. | Soviet Perceptions Of The Oil Factor In U. s. Foreign Policy The Middle Eastgulf Region
