Part of the book series: International Political Economy Series ((IPES))

Abstract

The oil industry is touched by many aspects of international political economy (IPE) studies: the role of the state as owner or custodian of natural resources, the relation between state and government, between governments internationally; the economic forces rewarding international trade in oil and oil-related assets and transfer of technology; the independence, formal or real, of companies with oil resources and markets, governance of companies within the corporate sector of private sector economies, and within the state sector where that dominates the economy; and the role of ideas, sometimes mobilized by non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
