Abstract or Introduction
The last 18 months were characterized by a dramatic decrease in average oil prices from more than $110 per barrel in July 2014 to less than $31 in January 2016. Such a decline has already resulted in serious economic changes worldwide. However, the decline will also result in substantial political changes in oil-extracting countries because previously established terms of social contract will be undermined while governments will lose most of resources, which enabled them to preserve control, not to mention weakening international position.
