Abstract

Surrounded by the Oxford college environment, Robert Mabro has spent over 25 years delivering a commentary on the politics and economics of oil with particular emphasis on the Middle East. Andrew McBarnet met him recently. Robert Mabro, founder and longtime director of the Oxford Institute of Energy Studies (OIES), sits at his desk with the wine list of St Anthony's College, Oxford in front of him. 'After 29 years,' he sighs, 'they decided I am fit to become the wine fellow, something I wanted to be at the beginning.' The catch, however, is that there is a move at the college, where he has been a fellow since 1969, to close the cellar in favour of a student computer area. Disarmingly Mabro chuckles, 'It's because I am an outsider - I'll get all the flak, not some true Brit.'
