Text of Note

Oil regimes have undergone a momentous transformation over the past 50 years. While the Arab OPEC nationalizations captured the world's attention, the parallel introduction of Indonesia's production sharing agreement (PSA) has produced a shift in ownership and control of oil in nearly half of the world. Contrary to popular narratives about the oil industry that privilege the coercive power of home countries and international oil companies, I argue that the transformation of oil regimes has been led by the developing world. Lacking significant power asymmetries and perceiving similarities of interests, the states of the South have learned from each other's experiences. As prominent developing countries have joined the ranks of PSA-users, prestige-seeking emulation has supplemented learning in driving diffusion.
