Purchase options and add-ons

At the beginning of the 21st century, a new world disorder is emerging in which battles over resources are playing an increasingly prominent role. The importance of oil to this picture is underscored by the unilateral and militaristic foreign policy of the world's largest power in its attempt to secure access to this critical resource. In this global context, oil-rich communities of the South are being drawn into struggles to defend their sovereignty, cultural integrity, human rights and threatened ecosystems.

Crude Interventions examines the military and economic policies of the Bush administration in oil-rich regions of the world. More precisely, it examines the socio-economic and human rights consequences of these policies, as well as those of recent US administrations and multinational energy companies, for the peoples of oil producing nations in the global South. With only four percent of the world's population, the United States consumes 25 per cent of global energy production. This thirst for energy has played a significant role in determining US foreign policy in recent decades. The desire to secure access to reliable supplies of oil has played an even more prominent role in determining the foreign policy of the government of George W. Bush than previous administrations.

By focusing on the US role in Iraq, Central Asia, West Africa, Colombia and Venezuela, Crude Interventions makes evident the connections between US energy interests, the war on terror, globalization, human rights abuses and other social injustices endured by those peoples of the South cursed with an abundance of the world's most sought after resource.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Truth, finally, about America's aggressive interventions everywhere , , ,
    Reviewed in the United States on November 6, 2009
    Verified Purchase
    The earlier reviewer really said it all.

    If you want to know the truth about our
    "intervention" around the globe, the
    nefarious practices of the IMF and the
    World Bank, read this book.

    I am a former journalist who reported
    for The Boston Globe, Newsweek, Time,
    and The New York Times. Also author
    (check me out here at Amazon).
