Massive revenues turned Algeria into the "Mediterranean dragon," Libya into an "emirate," and Iraq into the preeminent "rising military power" of the Arab world. From a political perspective, the progressive socialism of these countries would seem to have engendered profound, promising change: increased rights for women, positive urbanization, and improved education. Yet the realities of oil wealth are beyond disillusioning. The international community now wonders whether reform can ever penetrate such nations and if the West will ever enjoy secure access to gas and oil. Offering the first global evaluation of these issues, Luis Martinez considers the nature of oil-sponsored violence in Algeria, Iraq, and Libya and its ability both to weaken and bolster their respective regimes. 000529279 650_0 $$aPetroleum industry and trade$$zAlgeria. 000529279 650_0 $$aPetroleum industry and trade$$zIraq. 000529279 650_0 $$aPetroleum industry and trade$$zLibya. 000529279 651_0 $$aAlgeria$$xPolitics and government$$y1990- 000529279 651_0 $$aIraq$$xPolitics and government$$y2003- 000529279 651_0 $$aLibya$$xPolitics and government$$y1969-2011. 000529279 830_0 $$aComparative politics and international studies series. 000529279 85200 $$bgen$$hHD9577.A42$$iM37$$i2012 000529279 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:529279$$pGLOBAL_SET 000529279 980__ $$aBIB 000529279 980__ $$aBOOK
