Abstract

Introduction Within global commodity chains, oil represents an important exception to the general rule of transnational or end-user dominance (Czaban and Henderson, 1998: 585-563) as at certain historic moments, primary producers have been vested with extraordinary power. In tum, this has led to the creation of a specific form of growth regime within the oil-producing states in the Middle East. The Saudi accumulation regime is oil-centred, with large sectors of industry remaining heavily dependent on state sponsorship.
