First published in 1986, The Decline of Arab Oil Revenues explores
the fall in the economic value of Arab oil reserves in the 1980s.
Some of the threats to Arab countries include depletion of oil
resources, rise of alternative sources of energy, international
policies designed to control oil prices and growing conflicts of
interest between producing and consuming countries. The editors
suggest that any decline in oil revenues would negatively affect
the economic, political, social and psychological structure of Arab
societies since they are yet to explore non-oil sources of wealth.
Consequently, the editors stress on the importance of researching
the desert, which covers 94% of Arab lands, as a potential source
of wealth. Given the current global shift towards sustainable forms
of energy, this book is a timely reminder of the economic and
political implications of such a shift on Arab countries for
students of political science, international relations, geography,
and economics.
