2000 Oil and Money concentrates on the impact of large technical systems, such as the international oil industry, on the culture of the core regions of the Middle East as an example of the revolutionary role modern technology plays in contemporary global affairs. This book challenges now outdated regional approaches to understanding Middle Eastern events and demonstrates how relatively minor events in the Middle East can have grave consequences for industrial and industrializing states and societies in every corner of the globe. The arguments presented in this book will be of interest to professionals concerned with foreign affairs, senior managers of international businesses, and scholars.
