商品描述
This book examines the British colonial and American post-colonial oil policies toward the Persian Gulf from a postcolonial critical perspective, taking into account the coloniality and postcoloniality of power structures. It examines colonization, decolonization, and postcolonization of oil in the Persian Gulf through the parameters of political order, formulated policies, market structure, concession system, imperial/national interests, and great powers rivalry. In this work, the author uses qualitative, theory testing, and comparative case study method.
There are several reasons that are encouraging for the selection of these two cases: first, British colonial and American post-colonial oil policies toward the Gulf region show similar patterns of domination and exploitation; second, both colonial and post-colonial great powers consider the control of the Gulf oil among their national security priorities; third, both use military interventions, install military bases and involve in coup d'etat in the region to maintain their established oil order; and fourth, both justifies their colonial/imperial oil order in the region with humanitarian objectives such as 'civilizing mission' or 'democratization.'
In this research, the state-level of analysis is used to explore the oil policies of Anglo-American governments. The governance history of oil in the Persian Gulf can be broadly divided into three phases: (1) the colonial period 1901-1950; (2) the decolonization period 1950-1972; and (3) the post-colonial period, since the mid-1970s to the present. Chronologically, the oil policies of Anglo-American governments are examined in loose temporal and spatial contexts, and each period is introduced in independent chapters, but they are complementary to each other.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書從後殖民批判的角度,探討英國殖民時期和美國後殖民時期對波斯灣的石油政策,並考慮到權力結構的殖民性和後殖民性。它通過政治秩序、制定政策、市場結構、特許制度、帝國/國家利益和大國競爭等參數,研究了波斯灣石油的殖民化、去殖民化和後殖民化。在這項研究中,作者使用了定性、理論測試和比較案例研究方法。
選擇這兩個案例的原因有幾個:首先,英國殖民時期和美國後殖民時期對波斯灣地區的石油政策顯示出相似的統治和剝削模式;其次,殖民和後殖民大國都將控制波斯灣石油視為國家安全優先事項;第三,兩者都使用軍事干預,在該地區設立軍事基地並參與政變,以維護其建立的石油秩序;第四,兩者都以"文明使命"或"民主化"等人道主義目標來為他們在該地區的殖民/帝國石油秩序辯護。
在這項研究中,使用國家層面的分析來探討英美政府的石油政策。波斯灣石油的治理歷史可以大致分為三個階段:(1)殖民時期1901年至1950年;(2)去殖民化時期1950年至1972年;(3)後殖民時期,從1970年代中期至今。從時間和空間上看,英美政府的石油政策在鬆散的時空背景下進行研究,每個時期在獨立的章節中介紹,但它們互相補充。
