Description

Explore the vital connection between energy resources and national security in this scholarly work from Routledge. As the Cold War era began, the role of oil became central to military-industrial complexes and global stability. This volume examines how the acquisition of geoscientific knowledge served as a primary tool for states to meet energy needs and support economic and geostrategic interests. By focusing on the postwar rebuilding and expansion of the French and Italian oil industries from the late 1940s to the early 1960s, the text provides a detailed look at how administrations developed specific strategies for energy security. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in modern European history, the history of science, and the geopolitical shifts that shaped the mid-20th century.
