Reviews
Mazen Labban's insightful, dense, and short book applies a Marxian geographic analysis to the subject of oil with a focus on the Soviet Union, Russia, and the Iran. In doing so, he provides a fresh perspective on the causes of global price fluctuations and the geopolitics of access to the world's oil reserves. ... Labban offers an insightful analysis and challenging thesis on the place of oil within the dynamics and contradictions of capital circulation and accumulation expressed in the production of geographic integration (aka globalization) and fragmentation. --Economic Geography (vol 86, Jan 2010) Paul. K. Gellert, University of Tennessee.

What Labban has achieved is of great merit and insight on its own terms, and to that extent we are in his debt. -- Annals of the Association of American Geographers Michael J. Watts, University of California This book certainly provides an important new entry into the political economy of oil that will be valuable to economic geography as well as resource geography graduate students. -- Antipode, Vol 43, no. 4 2011 Nayna Jhaveri, Colgate University
