Middle East Oil and Multinational Expansionism: A Study in Imperialism and Underdevelopment

Abstract

<p>I greatly appreciate the confidence and aid of my thesis committee members - Professors Louis Greenspan, Camille Legendre, Richard Roman, and Dusky Smith - in making this endeavour less hazardous and difficult than it might have been. All of these men have helped me to formulate questions and perspectives in useful ways at one time or another during the research. Dusky Smith, as Supervisor, has had most continuous contact with the progress of my work and been particularly helpful in needed theoretical and stylistic criticism. Qussay Samak, my husband, has not only endured the usual chaos of the thesis companion, but has been a most critical resource in terms of specific data on the Middle East.</p>
