Book excerpt: Oil and Gas in Federal Systems, the first book-length work of its kind, presents a unique examination of the economic and political consequences of the world's reliance on fossil fuels. Twenty-four respected scholars in the areas of petroleum policy and federal systems examine in detail oil and gas management and revenue regimes in a dozen key federations: Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, the United States, and Venezuela. The history and development of each country's oil and gas industry is placed within the broader context of that nation's overall economic and political development.
