Coordination among oil-producing states within OPEC made it easier for them to nationalize oil production and structure oil prices in their favor without incurring punishment by Western governments and firms. Prior to the creation of OPEC, individual oil-producing states were punished for taking steps to alter the governing arrangements of oil production within their borders. States were coerced militarily (e.g. in 1953, the US-UK-sponsored a <a href="/wiki/1953_Iranian_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat" title="1953 Iranian coup d&#39;état">coup against Mohammad Mosaddegh</a> after he nationalized Iran's oil production) or economically (e.g. the Seven Sisters slowed down oil production in one non-compliant state and ramped up oil production elsewhere) when acted contrary to the interests of the Seven Sisters and their governments.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEColgan2021The_Rise_of_OPEC,_pp._59–93_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEColgan2021The_Rise_of_OPEC,_pp._59–93-7"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>The organisational logic that underpins OPEC is that it is in the collective interest of its members to limit the world oil supply in order to reap higher prices.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> However, the main problem within OPEC is that it is individually rational for members to cheat on commitments and produce as much oil as possible.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>Political scientist Jeff Colgan has argued that OPEC has since the 1980s largely failed to achieve its goals (limits on world oil supply, stabilized prices, and raising of long-term average revenues).<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> He finds that members have cheated on 96% of their commitments.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_8-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-8"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The analysis spans over the period 1982–2009.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEColgan2021107–109_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEColgan2021107–109-14"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> To the extent that when member states comply with their commitments, it is because the commitments reflect what they would do even if OPEC did not exist.
