Furthermore, check out the BBC timeline - also gives a good background on just general events:

Here is a brief outline of what I think I'm going to focus on - thoughts?
ReplyDelete1. Iranian Revolution and the 2nd oil shock

2. Iran-Iraq war

- international actors involved
- Yergin, bbc timeline, petropars
3. Iran in the '90's
- advent of sanctions - effects on oil production/economy of Iran
- BBC, petropars, EIA info
4. Oil production/capacity today
-where it ranks in the world
- continued effects of sanctions etc.
- Prof. article "US Globalized Interests vs Iranian Interests", http://www.archiveeditions.co.uk/titledetails.asp?tid=71, EIA information/graphs
