An undergraduate honors thesis on Iraq;
“This thesis, an “Analysis of Possible Oil Industry Ownership Structures in Post-War Iraq” explores the various forms of ownership that could potentially be employed in the oil industry of Iraq. At a time when rapid change is occurring in the country, this thesis discusses the implications of different ownership structures, and how they might relate to the economic recovery of the people of Iraq. As a valuable natural resource, oil has proven to be a significant source of revenue in the past, and could provide an excellent vehicle for economic recovery of the country. Using standard texts, past industry trends, examples of other countries, and the most current statistics available, this thesis attempts to highlight the best possible ownership structure in order to enhance the economy in the foreseeable future.”
