SUMMARY:Labor Politics in the Oil Industry: New Historical Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:CONFERENCE organized by Touraj Atabaki│International Institute of Social History\, Duccio Basosi│University of Venice Ca’ Foscari\, Elisabetta Bini│University of Trieste\, Giuliano Garavini│University of Padua\, Francesco Petrini│University of Padua\, Massimiliano Trentin│University of Bologna \nSecretariat:\nBarbara Gollin\, Silvia Brunelli \n24 October 2014\nDipartimento di scienze politiche\, giuridiche e studi internazionali Aula Economia\nVia del Santo 28 Padova\nsponsored by\nUniversity of Padua\, FIRB Engines of Growth\nUniversity of Padua\, Department of Political Science\, Law\, and International Studies University of Venice Ca’ Foscari\, FIRB Engines of Growth \nThe importance of labor in the history of national and international oil politics has been largely overlooked by scholars. Yet\, as recent events in Libya\, Algeria and Nigeria show\, oil workers play (and have played) a crucial role in blocking or rederecting the flow of oil\, while labor policies have often been central in defining relations between international oil companies and oil producing states.\nThis international conference aims at analyzing the role labor has had in transforming oil politics during the 20th century\, particularly its second half. The decades that run from the 1950s to the 1990s are by now recognized as crucial in changing the relationship between oil producing and oil consuming countries. However\, scholars have focused their attention mostly on diplomatic relations and high politics or on the economic strategies carried out by single oil firms. With few exceptions\, the ways in which labor relations\, workers and trade unions contributed to redefine oil politics has received but scant attention.\n\nDIPARTIMENTO DI SCIENZE POLITICHE\, GIURIDICHE E STUDI INTERNAZIONALI (SPGI)\nProgramme\n10 am\nGeert Van Goethem (Amsab Institute of Social History/Ghent University)\, Unattainable Paradise: American Labor’s Global Activities and the Petroleum Workers during the Cold War Era\nBetsy A.
