Abstract
Any review of the strategic impact of world economic changes in the past three decades could still usefully start from the opening observation of Strategic Survey 1973: ‘The successful use of the oil weapon by the Arab states … produced the greatest shock, the most potent sense of a new era, of any event of recent years’. The year of the oil crisis, 1973 — conveniently located exactly halfway through the thirty years of HSS history — did indeed mark a watershed in post-war international relations: it threw into stark relief major structural changes in international economic relations and dramatically highlighted their implications for international relations as a whole — including the key issues of security.
