This book explains how and why large oil-producing corporations have affected government institutions, energy policy, and politics in the United Statesāand suggests how their influence can be reduced.
Big oil is the leading factor in U.S. energy politics today; the largest oil-producing companies also constitute a formidable force and interest group in American politics. This book examines why oil is so important and how the prominence of huge corporationsāoften working in the absence of countervailing forcesāhas affected government institutions, policy (with a focus on energy policy), and politics in the United States.
Analyzing big oil's influence on political outcomes, particularly through campaign contributions and lobbying, this book shows how strong corporate power affects political participation. The book documents how the influence of big oil flows in all directions, intricately connecting U.S. policies at all levelsāforeign policy, federal, state, and even localāregarding oil exploration, development, production, and transportation. Readers will come away with a clear understanding of how these multi-tiered relationships between oil corporations and governments work to the advantage of corporationsāand to the disadvantage of states and the citizens they represent.
