This is the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. With the aim of coordinating the petroleum policies of the member states, the organization was founded in 1960. Member countries have been benefitting from the organization both economically and technically as the organization works on the foundation of a cartel that sets oil prices on a global scale. As such member states are cushioned against the fluctuating global oil prices. The organization is guided by the mission which is; “T coordinate
