Die Aussicht auf einen Militärschlag gegen den Irak bringt nicht nur Bewegung in die Entwicklung des Ölpreises. Sie löst auch weitergehende Spekulationen darüber aus, welche Bedeutung die irakischen Ölreserven und Produktionsmöglichkeiten für die Motivation der Amerikaner haben könnte, im Irak einzugreifen. Wenn der irakische Außenminister Naji Sabri die USA anklagt, daß es ihr in Wirklichkeit darum ginge, »den Irak zu zerstören, um das Öl des Nahen Ostens unter Kontrolle zu bekommen«, so spricht er einen Vorwurf aus, der in vielen, auch westlichen Kommentaren mitschwingt. Washington wiederum streitet strikt ab, daß das Öl ein Motiv für die Androhung einer militärischen Intervention im Irak darstelle, nicht aber, daß eine solche Intervention Auswirkungen auf den internationalen Ölmarkt habe.

Analyse der Auswirkungen des Zusammenbruchs der Ölpreise Mitte der achtziger Jahre auf soziale Lage und Aktivitäten der betroffenen Ölarbeiter. In einem ersten Teil wird die Preisentwicklung im Ölsektor nachgezeichnet und auf gesamtgesellschaftliche Probleme bezogen. Der zweite Teil diskutiert die Lage der Ölindustrie mi den Auswirkungen auf Formen des Klassenkampfes: Schwächung der Gewerkschaften; selbstorganisierte Aktionen der Arbeiter; Tendenz zur klassenübergreifenden Einheit; Mobilisierung der Bauern; ethnische Spannungen; neue Allianzen und Spaltungen bei den Funktionären; Entwicklung eines harten Kerns von Arbeitern, die die Industrie selbst kontrollieren wollen.

Argues that strategy formulation across sectors is different. Often the use of normative approaches to strategic management that have sprung from research and experience within the private sector do not pay sufficient cognizance to the subtle differences that drive non‐profit and human‐service‐oriented public sector organizations. Analyses the interplay of variables such as environment, values and leadership to ascertain their significance in strategy formulation. Includes four case organizations from these two sectors in order to develop theoretical insights. Uses Ellen Chaffee's models of linear, adaptive and interpretive strategy to analyse these variables across the sectors. Unlike other theories of strategy, Chaffee's models are hierarchical and accommodate distinctive characteristics that motivate human service organizations. Identifies patterns of proactivity in strategy formulation, and concludes that transformational leadership enjoys a necessary relationship with value consensus, and together these form a sufficient condition to describe two case organizations from different sectors as interpretive in their strategy formulation.

India's energy sector and petroleum subsector are overviewed. The project comprises: a) application of production improvement schemes such as infill drilling, pressure maintenance, workover of wells including hydraulic fracturing and application of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques in some of the partially depleted oil fields in Assam; b) implementation of a gas reinjection scheme and associated gas supply network in a few oil fields in Assam; c) exploration, primarily in gas prone areas, involving acquisition and interpretation of high resolution seismic data and drilling of exploratory wells; and d) institution building to strengthen the technical capabilities of Oil India Ltd. (OIL). (Economische Voorlichtingsdienst)

The prospect of a military offensive against Iraq puts more than the price of oil into motion. It also causes further-reaching speculations on the extent to which Iraqi oil reserves and production capacities might serve as a motivation for the United States to intervene in Iraq. When Iraq's Foreign Minister, Naji Sabri, accuses the U.S. that its real interests lie in seeking to "destroy Iraq in order to control the Middle East oil," he is making an accusation that resonates in many commentaries from both Western and non-Western sources. Washington, in turn, strictly denies that oil represents a motive for threatening military intervention in Iraq. It does not deny, however, that such an intervention would have repercussions on international oil markets. (SWP Comments / SWP)
