"The research for this volume was originally undertaken for a conference titled "Oil, Gas and Pipelines: New Perspectives on the Role of Soviet Energy During the Cold War." This event, which took place at the University of Zurich on January 14-16, 2015, was organized by Jeronim Perović together with Dunja Krempin and Felix Rehschuh from the Department of History of the University of Zurich, and was financed by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) and the Hochschulstiftung of the University of Zurich. This book contains a selection of papers, which were first presented at this international conference." - Seite vi
Beschreibung:
This book examines the role of Soviet energy during the Cold War. Based on hitherto little known documents from Western and Eastern European archives, it combines the story of Soviet oil and gas with general Cold War history. This volume breaks new ground by framing Soviet energy in a multi-national context, taking into account not only the view from Moscow, but also the perspectives of communist Eastern Europe, the US, NATO, as well as several Western European countries - namely Italy, France, and West Germany. This book challenges some of the long-standing assumptions of East-West bloc relations, as well as shedding new light on relations within the blocs regarding the issue of energy. By bringing together a range of junior and senior historians and specialists from Europe, Russia and the US, this book represents a pioneering endeavour to approach the role of Soviet energy during the Cold War in transnational perspective.
