Book excerpt: La France et le Pétrole de 1924 à nos jours, c'est une part importante et peu ou mal connue de l'histoire de la France au XXe siècle. Édifiée par la volonté de quelques personnalités politiques (Poincaré, Blum, de Gaulle) ou bien informées (Pineau, Mercier, Guillaumat), l'industrie pétrolière touche aux domaines les plus divers : diplomatie quand les Français négocient avec les Britanniques, les Allemands, les Américains, les Algériens ou l'Europe ; fiscalité quand les gouvernements accordent des avantages aux « pétroliers » ; économie quand le pétrole révolutionne l'ensemble de la vie, de l'industrie et de la production françaises ; politique coloniale quand, à partir de 1945, les ingénieurs prospectent le Maghreb, la Libye ou l'Afrique noire et y découvrent le pétrole et le gaz.

Book Synopsis Oil and Sovereignty by : Rüdiger Graf
Download or read book Oil and Sovereignty written by Rüdiger Graf and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2018-04-23 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades that followed World War II, cheap and plentiful oil helped to fuel rapid economic growth, ensure political stability, and reinforce the legitimacy of liberal democracies. Yet waves of price increases and the use of the so-called “oil weapon” by a group of Arab oil-producing countries in the early 1970s demonstrated the West’s dependence on this vital resource and its vulnerability to economic volatility and political conflicts. Oil and Sovereignty analyzes the national and international strategies that American and European governments formulated to restructure the world of oil and deal with the era’s disruptions. It shows how a variety of different actors combined diplomacy, knowledge creation, economic restructuring, and public relations in their attempts to impose stability and reassert national sovereignty.
Book Synopsis Oil Exploration, Diplomacy, and Security in the Early Cold War by : Roberto Cantoni
Download or read book Oil Exploration, Diplomacy, and Security in the Early Cold War written by Roberto Cantoni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of oil for national military-industrial complexes appeared more clearly than ever in the Cold War. This volume argues that the confidential acquisition of geoscientific knowledge was paramount for states, not only to provide for their own energy needs, but also to buttress national economic and geostrategic interests and protect energy security. By investigating the postwar rebuilding and expansion of French and Italian oil industries from the second half of the 1940s to the early 1960s, this book shows how successive administrations in those countries devised strategies of oil exploration and transport, aiming at achieving a higher degree of energy autonomy and setting up powerful oil agencies that could implement those strategies. However, both within and outside their national territories, these two European countries had to confront the new Cold War balances and the interests of the two superpowers.

Book excerpt: Winner of the BAC Wadsworth Prize for Business History 2020 When Calouste Gulbenkian died in 1955 at the age of 86, he was the richest man in the world, known as 'Mr Five Per Cent' for his personal share of Middle East oil. The son of a wealthy Armenian merchant in Istanbul, for half a century he brokered top-level oil deals, concealing his mysterious web of business interests and contacts within a labyrinth of Asian and European cartels, and convincing governments and oil barons alike of his impartiality as an 'honest broker'. Today his name is known principally through the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, to which his spectacular art collection and most of his vast wealth were bequeathed. Gulbenkian's private life was as labyrinthine as his business dealings. He insisted on the highest 'moral values', yet ruthlessly used his wife's charm as a hostess to further his career, and demanded complete obedience from his family, whom he monitored obsessively. As a young man he lived a champagne lifestyle, escorting actresses and showgirls, and in later life - on doctor's orders - he slept with a succession of discreetly provided young women. Meanwhile he built up a superb art collection which included Rembrandts and other treasures sold to him by Stalin from the Hermitage Museum. Published to mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, Mr Five Per Cent reveals Gulbenkian's complex and many-sided existence. Written with full access to the Gulbenkian Foundation's archives, this is the fascinating story of the man who more than anyone else helped shape the modern oil industry.

Book excerpt: A partir de la Première Guerre mondiale, le pétrole, ressource stratégique, est devenu déterminant pour la Défense nationale et a commencé à irriguer l'économie. Mais quelle politique pétrolière fallait-il inventer pour la France ? Le débat entre interventionnisme et libéralisme fit rage et on assista au début du "lobbying". De ces débats et jeux d'influences naquit une structure qui allait s'installer parmi les supermajors : la Compagnie Française des Pétroles (mieux connue sous le nom de Total).

Book Synopsis Mathematical Communities in the Reconstruction After the Great War 1918–1928 by : Laurent Mazliak
Download or read book Mathematical Communities in the Reconstruction After the Great War 1918–1928 written by Laurent Mazliak and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-27 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a consequence of the international meeting organized in Marseilles in November 2018 devoted to the aftermath of the Great War for mathematical communities. It features selected original research presented at the meeting offering a new perspective on a period, the 1920s, not extensively considered by historiography. After 1918, new countries were created, and borders of several others were modified. Territories were annexed while some countries lost entire regions. These territorial changes bear witness to the massive and varied upheavals with which European societies were confronted in the aftermath of the Great War. The reconfiguration of political Europe was accompanied by new alliances and a redistribution of trade – commercial, intellectual, artistic, military, and so on – which largely shaped international life during the interwar period. These changes also had an enormous impact on scientific life, not only in practice, but also in its organization and communication strategies. The mathematical sciences, which from the late 19th century to the 1920s experienced a deep disciplinary evolution, were thus facing a double movement, internal and external, which led to a sustainable restructuring of research and teaching. Concomitantly, various areas such as topology, functional analysis, abstract algebra, logic or probability, among others, experienced exceptional development. This was accompanied by an explosion of new international or national associations of mathematicians with for instance the founding, in 1918, of the International Mathematical Union and the controversial creation of the International Research Council. Therefore, the central idea for the articulation of the various chapters of the book is to present case studies illustrating how in the aftermath of the war, many mathematicians had to organize their personal trajectories taking into account the evolution of the political, social and scientific environment which had taken place at the end of the conflict.

Book Synopsis Milieux économiques et intégration européenne au XXe siècle by : Eric Bussière
Download or read book Milieux économiques et intégration européenne au XXe siècle written by Eric Bussière and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Croisant les interventions de jeunes chercheurs et d'historiens et économistes plus confirmés, cet ouvrage revisite une période dont la connaissance est utile à celle de l'Europe en crise d'aujourd'hui. À La Haye, en décembre 1969, la construction européenne est relancée dans la direction des unions politique et monétaire. Cinq ans plus tard, le premier choc pétrolier affecte durablement les économies occidentales et révèle combien le projet européen est fragile. Mais la crise est aussi la matrice d'une nouvelle relance. Plus ambitieuse, sa maturation lente et difficile débouche, au début des années 1980, sur l'annonce d'avancées qui s'avèreront essentielles.

Download or read book New Energies written by Stephen G. Gross and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 250 years, energy transitions have occurred repeatedly—the rise of coal in the nineteenth century, the explosion of oil in the twentieth century, the nuclear utopianism of the 1950s and 1960s. These transitions have been as revolutionary as any political or economic upheaval, and they required changes in infrastructure and behavior. Yet new energies never wholly replace old ones. This volume historicizes energy production and consumption while demonstrating how energy use has reshaped everything from social life and economic organization to political governance. It foregrounds the importance of energy for big historical questions about capitalism, democracy, inequality, the environment, and identity, and it argues that energy systems themselves merit attention as key agents of historical change. Given the urgency of climate change, and the central position that energy plays in causing and potentially solving global warming, this volume engages history as a discipline in the debate over what may be most monumental energy transition of all time: the shift away from fossil fuels.
