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.
