Yet waves of price increases and the use of the so-called ?oil weapon? by a group of Arab oil-producing countries in the early 1970s demonstrated the West?s dependence on this vital resource and its vulnerability to economic volatility and political conflicts. Oil and Sovereignty analyzes the national and international strategies that American and European governments formulated to restructure the world of oil and deal with the era?s disruptions. It shows how a variety of different actors combined diplomacy, knowledge creation, economic restructuring, and public relations in their attempts to impose stability and reassert national sovereignty. 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zEurope, Western$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEnergy policy$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEnergy policy$zEurope, Western$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aEnergy policy$xHistory 615 0$aEnergy policy$xHistory 676 $a338.2/72809409046 700 $aGraf$b Ru?diger$f1975-$01519223 702 $aSkinner$b Alex 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796957403321 996 $aOil and sovereignty$93757228 997 $aUNINA
