The successful management of the global economic and financial system will stimulate the continuation of such a trend. There are patterns of territorial disparity between the main poles of oil consumption and the main areas of reserves and production that make both energy-importing and energy-exporting countries vulnerable to relationships of ‘asymmetrical interdependence’. This is the geopolitical dimension of the international political economy of oil. Add to these energy-specific structural ingredients the political realist notion that international politics is a struggle for power and survival among states that are prisoners of an unregulated and risky world order (Mearsheimer, 2001; Waltz, 1979), and several conditions for inter-state energy rivalry and armed conflict for the control of energy resources are met.
