OPEC and the Market stands as a major addition to the Center's publications list. Well-researched, tightly written, and scholarly, this volume can be a valuable tool to teachers, students, forecasters, and analysts. The project has been carried out in conjunction with the United Arab Emirates University, with the ICEED responsible for editing and all production aspects. This type of undertaking not only meets the primary tenet of the Center to expand the base of information but also reflects its objectives in publishing and support of research.
