And, here is another development sure to further heighten regional conflicts, tensions surrounding privatization.
Excerpt first, link follows below:

"....The Iranian Privatization Organization has been given the rights to privatize 80 percent of the rights to explore oil in the country's northern sector and the Caspian Sea..."

The numerous intractable, irresolvable economic conflicts between Baghdad/Iran/KRG privatization continue their upwards spiral with each and every step of the way and more developments forthcoming from Iraq's second oil auction about to take place this Fall, in November, to so-called elections in January.

And, then, of course, there are the additional factors in Iraq's explosive "neighborhood," i.e., Russia, Gazprom, the Caucasus, Georgia, Ukraine, Baltics, Eastern Europe, Afghanistan, etc., and their competing gas pipeline routes and suppliers.

Now, I thought I would toss in the following little tidbit, a bone, to spice up this post for all out there who prefer their economics around identity politics, instead.

Excerpt first, link follows:

"JERUSALEM, Aug 15, 2009 (AFP) - Vast tracts of Israeli agricultural land in north Israel's Galilee area have been bought up by Arabs with financial backing from the Gulf, Israeli public radio reported on Saturday...
....On August 3 the Israeli parliament passed a controversial land reform law that allows local officials to privatise publicly owned land, triggering the ire of the Arab minority..."

Meanwhile, it is impossible for me to keep pace with steadily increasing global militarization from sea based missile defense, nukes, test launches, military acquisitions, the Middle East to Asia, the Korean peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, etc., etc.
But, here's one on which I thought I would end, an update to some of my previous posts:
