A new political economy of oil

Oil carries external costs which increase with depletion. In conventional visions for the next 20 years, oil supply will exceed demand in the premium market for transport fuel; competition between producers will drive capacity expansion (though with a risk of investment cycles); and natural gas will limit growth in oil demand and price. The politics of the climate, of transport, and of power supply, now rank with OPEC as key political factors affecting oil. Energy security has become more important to exporters than importers. Producers are threatened by the possibility that economically available oil will be left in the ground.

The Political Economy of Oil, Autos, and the Urban Environment in Venezuela

When Venezuela's economy, dependent on oil exports by the state-owned transnational corporation, produces a large surplus which the government uses to invest in urban infrastructure, especially highways. Highway investments and low gasoline prices reinforce auto dependency and contribute to urban congestion, air pollution, and public health problems. Oil and auto dependency benefit the middle and upper strata of the population, which have the highest levels of car ownership. The majority of the urban population do not own vehicles and suffer the worst consequences of environmental contamination.

Going global: The political economy of oil and gas development offshore of sakhalin

Summary The transitional recession and now economic crisis in the Russian Far East have left the island of Sakhalin Oblast with little alternative but to hope that the international oil and gas companies will invest in offshore oil and gas projects. The historical background to these projects commences with the exploration of offshore acreage dating back to the aftermath of the energy crises in the mid‐1970s and their current state of development is faced with many complications, but these projects could have a tremendous impact on the regional economy, providing benefits to be felt far beyond the shores of Sakhalin ‐ in the entire Russian Far East. In defining the key actors, scales of interaction and issues influencing the pace of development, we might conceptualise the nature of the various interactions as operating along two axes: the global‐local, which captures the interaction between Sakhalin and the Russian Far East more generally, and the international political and economic actors; and the centre‐region, which captures the interaction between Sakhalin/the Russian Far East and Moscow ‐ both the Federal Government, the State Duma and private financial institutions.

Nigeria: the political economy of oil

Although Nigeria is the largest petroleum producer in Africa, the story of its political economy remains one of gross indebtedness and inefficiency. This account of the Nigerian oil industry considers financial restraints on domestic investment, the fraught relationship between the government and foreign oil companies, and the tragic lessons of an oil-dependent economy. In an international context, the study explains the pivotal role Nigeria plays as a mediator between the Gulf oil-producing countries and the markets of Europe and America. A special chapter considers the potential of Nigeria's natural gas, which at present is wasted on a grand scale.

Venezuela: the political economy of oil

Venezuela: the Political Economy of Oil is the first book in a new series on oil exporting countries. Venezuela continues to occupy a central place in the world petroleum market. The founding member of OPEC remains the principal net exporter outside of the Gulf. Its national oil company, PdVSA, is now the third largest oil company in the world and is pursuing a revolutionary policy of external acquisitions in developed countries. At the same time, there are early signs of a shift in its attitudes towards allowing in foreign investment. Such issues are in the forefront of political debate in most oil exporting countries today. In this book, Juan Carlos Bou 'e gives a comprehensive and masterly analysis of the Venezuelan oil industry within the context of the political economy of the country. In particular, he considers the enormous potential reserves of the Orinoco Oil Basin, which may even dwarf the reserves of the Gulf. He stresses the environmental challenges facing the heavy Venezuelan crudes. The `revolutionary new fuel', orimulsion, is shown to be a triumph of innovation and marketing, but its future remains in considerable doubt. This book is intended for oil companies, South America investment analysts, South America students/academics.
