In key oil-producing countries like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Nigeria, and many others there are many common themes. These oil-producing countries are statistically more likely to have corruption. This corruption is caused by the greed of national officials and oil companies run by the government. This corruption leads to civil wars which is why there are a lot of internal conflicts in many oil-producing countries. Petroleum politics matters because of the impact it has on the global economy. Oil has become so crucial to life that without it many people would be forced to change the way they live. Oil companies know how essential oil is to the world and that without it this system which has been created cannot run. In recent years alternative fuel sources have been getting more attention because of climate change and the push for renewable energy.
