Description/Abstract The threat of a third, politically inspired, short term foreign oil disruption continues to evoke a high level of salience on government`s formal agenda.^Currently the Reagan Administration favors allowing market-oriented policies to allocate oil during such an interruption.^Opponents argue that market policies are inadequate and that government intervention policies must be developed and implemented.^This dissertation research examines the political feasibility of both energy preparedness approaches as they would be operationalized within the intergovernmental framework of the US political system.^Because of the political nature of energy policies in the implementation stage of the policy life cycle, the critical test of a successful energy preparedness policy is whether it can reach its goals in the highly politicized maze of intergovernmental relations.^To examine the energy preparedness policy debate, two political scenarios are developed - market-oriented responses and government intervention programs - to a third hypothetical oil shortage.^Specifically, the scenarios draw out the range of policy choices and interactions between the national and California governments as they attempt to provide a comprehensive policy response to the oil shortage.
