Hidden Secrets in Oil Agreements: Akankari 1928 as an Example
Main Article Content
Abstract
Researching the historical roots of agreements concerned with oil affairs has historical, political, economic and social importance. Therefore, delving into the most important agreement that dealt with the monopoly of oil and its prices is a priority that we have set in this research to be a nucleus around which the reasons, events and results that resulted from the signing of the most famous oil agreement concerned with oil, its production, extraction, prices, monopoly and marketing revolve. Perhaps a questioner, interested person or researcher raises a question about how international oil companies obtained those powers that enabled them to implement their terms and programs for a period exceeding 25 years. Therefore, we will try to raise a group of questions to complete our research methodology, at the forefront of which are: Who are the most prominent oil companies that monopolized oil production, price and marketing? What are the political and economic circumstances and influences that enabled those companies to implement their terms literally? Did the governments of those companies intervene in imposing the monopoly policy and imposing prices? What is the position of the governments whose wealth is being exploited? Why did this agreement remain secret and not disclosed by those companies? What are the most important terms and articles that the three oil companies agreed upon? We put these questions and other important aspects as a hypothesis and a problem that we researched so that the conclusion of the work would be focused on addressing that agreement and its importance to the global oil markets in terms of quantities and production if we knew that the leaders and administrations of those companies controlled more than half of the world's oil markets.
