Oil
The main oil producing countries are all in a Cartel-esque group called OPEC, stands for Oil Producing Economic Countries, and they get together every so often and set the prices to a certain extent to control supply of oil and thus the price. All the countries in OPEC (as far as i am aware) can produce a lot more oil however lots more oil = prices falling which they don't want.
we first can talk about the cartel, and then we have to say the meaning of monopoly and how this cartel seems it is monopoly but it is not and talk about the market failure
Southwestern Asia is the sub continent of India. Nevertheless, what ever geography is used, poverty remains a fact of life in most of Asia. High oil prices usually benefit the old oil cartel and other oil producing nations.
OPEC
The effectiveness of OPEC varies dependent of political and economic factors. During the 1973 OPEC induced oil crises their cartel actions created economic emergencies on global economies whose infrastructure were dependent on crude imports. The rise of the United States in 2014 as the world's largest oil and natural gas producer further weakens the effectiveness and coercive powers of the cartel. Moreover, non OPEC states such as Canada and Russia further weaken OPEC's threat of using oil as a weapon. Lastly OPEC states such as Saudi Arabia can and have been known to break the cartel producing as they wish to counteract potential oil crises.
