Opting for Oil: The Political Economy of Technological Change in the West German Industry, 1945–1961 de Raymond G. Stokes

Opting for Oil: The Political Economy of Technological Change in the West German Industry, 1945–1961

Autor Raymond G. Stokes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 apr 2006
This book investigates the causes, course and consequences of the shift in West German chemical technology from a coal to a petroleum basis between 1945 and 1961. It examines the historical underpinnings of the technological culture of the German chemical industry; changing political and economic constraints on technological decision-making in the post-war period; and the actual decision-making process within five individual firms. By addressing a wide variety of broader issues - including the origins and impact of the division of Germany; the effects of the Wirtschaftswunder, or economic miracle; European integration; and the changing role of the West German Federal Republic in the international political order - this book explains how West German industry regained and then retained a competitive position in world markets.
