Giuliano Garavini, "OPEC: A History of Oil" (Lecture, NYU, April 12, 2016)

A quick note on a forthcoming lecture in New York by NYU Abu Dhabi Senior Research Fellow Giuliano Garavini, scholar of international history and author of After Empires: European Integration, Decolonization, and the Challenge From the Global South (Oxford: OUP, 2012).

From 6 PM to 7:30 PM on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, Garavini will deliver a lecture entitled "OPEC: A History of Oil" at 19 Washington Square North (also the hub for NYU Abu Dhabi's operations in New York). The abstract explains more about what promises to be an exciting talk:

The history of oil has mainly been written from the point of view of international oil companies or from that of oil-consuming countries. This lecture aims to provide insight into the policies of oil-producing countries and how the international cooperation among them contributed to the global management of this crucial natural resource.
