Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c22833) has announced the addition of Petroleum Industry Regulation within Stable States to their offering

This book addresses the challenges facing stable democratic states in dealing with oil companies in order to secure general welfare gains. Political stability means that such states should be able to take a longer term perspective.

A particular issue addressed is the question of tax competition between producing countries.
