The Oil Market: 1980's And Today
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. If there is one thing that can be asserted about the oil market, it is that it is in a constant state of fluctuation. Nowhere is this more evident than when one studies the events of the 1980's in comparison to that of the contemporary oil market. There is virtually no way for such a vacillating industry to conform to forecaster predictions, as its inherent nature is to change with great regularity. Inasmuch as industry experts attempt to rein in some modicum of knowledgeable prediction, they have routinely been met with disappointment. The writer discusses how such was the case with the 1980 oil market, noting that the same has continued forward into the 1990's. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The War for the Falklands: Altruism or Economic Control?
[ send me this paper ]
In 1982 Argentina invaded a handful of islands in the South Atlantic that supported a population of barely 2,000 humans (and approximately one hundred sheep for each human). Experts and non-experts were proposing theories that ranged from the Argentine foot soldier's view of 'freeing the islands from the yoke of colonialism' to a war for the potential economic value of oil fields rumored to be just offshore. The most likely scenario includes a long history of conflict over sovereignty, an existence of and potential for a long term shortage of oil, the strategic position of the islands as a gateway to the South Atlantic with access to the Suez Canal all coming together with a feeling of urgency caused by the oil situation. This 10 page paper explores the motivations of the Argentines for invading the Falklands in 1982. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
