Article Abstract:

America's relation to world oil, the development of the international oil industry outside the United States, the place of Organization of Petroleum-Exchange Countries (OPEC) in international oil and US policy towards Middle East oil is considered. Even though the United States seeks to control world oil, the form of that control is very ambiguous and different to the kinds of exclusive control over raw materials traditionally associated with imperial powers.
