Caspian energy resources : implications for the Arab Gulf /


Machine generated contents note: 1 Caspian Oil Development: An Overview 13 -- Laurent Ruseckas -- 2 Developing Caspian Energy Reserves: The Legal Environment 25 -- PaulR. Gregory -- 3 Iran and Caspian Energy: Prospects for Cooperation and Conflict 53 -- Geoffry Kemp -- 4 Political Trends in the New Caspian States: Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan 71 -- Shirin Akiner -- 5 The Industry's Race for Caspian Oil Reserves 111 -- Julia Nanay -- 6 The Development of Caspian Sea Oil: Implications for OPEC 127 -- Wilfid L. Kohl -- 7 Price vs. Market Share for the Arab Gulf Oil Producers: Do Caspian Oil Reserves Tilt the Balance? 143 -- Amy Myers Jaffe -- 8 Gulf Oil vs. the Oil of the Caspian Sea 155 -- FadhilJ Chalabi -- 9 The Relevance of Caspian Oil for the World Market 169 -- Sarah A. Emerson "This volume is a collection of papers presented at a conference sponsored by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) entitled 'Caspian Energy Resources: Implications for the Arab Gulf', held in Abu Dhabi, October 25-26, 1998. The Arab Gulf is currently the predominant oil exporting region in the world. How far does the energy resource potential of the Caspian basin represent a major challenge to the supremacy of the Arab Gulf? In the course of this volume, the authors explore the various dimensions of Caspian energy, ranging from contentious pipeline issues to the impact of Caspian oil on Gulf producers, OPEC member states and global markets. A discourse on the attraction of Caspian oil reserves underlines the rationale for massive foreign investment flooding the region. The aforementioned issues are studied from the perspectives of the major players and in the context of regional politics and the complex legal environment. Although the future impact of Caspian energy is yet to be determined, this volume offers valuable insight and comprehensive analysis on the major determinants affecting this strategically significant oil-rich region."--.

The politics of coal's decline : the industry in western Europe /

Parker, Mike.


"The hard coal industry in western Europe has been in decline for many years. This study examines its future prospects and finds no reason to believe that the trend will be reversed. The author shows how the manner and rate of this decline will continue to be determined as much by political as by economic factors, including the politics of environmental controls and market liberalization, where developments have been increasingly unfavourable to coal." "A centrally directed policy by the European Union to protect indigenous coal production has never seemed likely, with the policies of member states showing wide divergences. Above all, there has been a marked contrast between the UK policy of rapid contraction of its relatively efficient industry, and the German policy of continuing massive subsidization of its very high-cost industry, with slow adaptation by consensus. This great anomaly cannot be understood without looking at the politics."--BOOK JACKET.
