In the 1970s it was perceived as acting as an economic "spearhead" for developing countries and played a role that went far beyond the realm of oil politics. Today the cooperation among petrostates is complicated by political divisions, the rise of shale oil, the strength of the climate change agenda, and oil exporters' plans to diversify their economies.
