Sovereignty in the global economic order
This critical review discuss the history of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) through the lens of national resource sovereignty and its place in the evolving global economic order. Drawing on historical accounts and economic analyses, the study methodologically contrasts insider narratives that emphasize anti-colonialism and self-determination with outsider perspectives focused on price-setting and cartel behavior. The anal…
Nuclearization on the Iberian Peninsula
Because nuclear power development entails massive initial investments in power plants, along with institutional innovations in regulation, law, and basic physical infrastructure, there are strong grounds to support the pervasiveness of the central state in the industry. Furthermore, considering the scale economies in reactor installation, standardization in design, and enhanced learning by doing, little scope remains for the consideration of dece…
Borders and transit countries
Following the discovery of vast oil reserves in the Persian Gulf region, the Middle East became the main hub for the expansion and development of western pipeline technology. Contrary to the borderless world described in some accounts of globalization, what is observed after 1956 is the establishment of hard political borders, directly under the oversight of national governments, for pipeline deployment with minimal boundary crossings. In the Mid…
Hyperfactuals
A historical sequence is said to be hyperfactual whenever it contains facts that have been proved to exist twice, that is, they exist under two alternative courses of events: the factual and the counterfactual. In such cases, we may verify whether multiple courses of action lead to the same outcome. Drawing upon an idea from Nelson Goodman, each section of this article highlights a different type of hyperfactual sequence: those resulting from the…
Reckless Proliferation and Guardianship Proliferation
This article examines the history of the fast breeder reactor as a forerunner technology in three Western nuclear nations-the United States, the United Kingdom, and France-to clarify just how this charismatic technology changed the nuclear landscape. Did the adoption of fast reactors tip the nuclear balance toward a plutonium economy? And what were the interconnections between the production of plutonium for nuclear reactors and plutonium for ato…
Squabbling Sisters
This article examines the historical emergence of the Middle East oil-pricing system. The collapse of the Gulf-plus system, combined with outstanding discoveries of new reservoirs across the Arabian Peninsula and Persia, awoke latent competitive forces within the oligopolistic oil industry. After World War II, business differences regarding vertical integration, market priorities, and global competition worsened existing fractures among the multi…
The confident forecaster. Lessons from the upscaling of the electricity industry in England and Wales
This article analyses the upscaling technological stage in the life cycle of capital-intensive technologies from the business history viewpoint. We correspondingly demonstrate how the pursuit of technological trajectories based on systematic increases in the size and power capacities of units pushed a new class of professionals, skills and procedures to the forefront of business decision-making. From 1958 onwards, forecasting framed and sharpened…
The Anxiety of Abundance
Right from the outset, the adoption of mechanical machinery, railways, steamships and long distance communications was accompanied by growing concerns about the possibility of running out of coal. This article examines three main issues: firstly, what triggered the scarcity fear, given that the historical period was one of rising prosperity with no foreseeable shortages in sight; secondly, what actually went wrong with the coal supply vision give…
Oil in the age of steam
This article explains how oil as an energy carrier evolved alongside the technology of the steam engine. In practical terms, fuel oil was adapted to machines that were originally devised to be coal-fuelled and this led to the flexible switchover between energy carriers. The article links the micro account of technological developments with the macro records of energy consumption, to reveal how steam technology set the stage for the commoditizatio…
Revolution and policy failure
The Portuguese revolution of October 1910 instituted a civilian revolutionary and ‘progressive’ Republic within the background of a conservative and monarchist Europe, whose core was located in the countries of the Triple Alliance. Since its very beginning, the regime fell short of any foundational consensus and was caught by a wave of conspiracies, upheavals, social protests and civil war menaces. This article sheds light on the shortcuts adopte…
When the South Emulates the North
Differences in natural endowments, in geographical conditions and in per capita income set up an historical bifurcation between northern states, with abundant renewable hydrological resources, and less well-endowed southern states. While the first embraced a model of electricity adding, with the embodiment of this form of energy in capital goods and intermediate goods, the second followed a path of electricity substitution, with mixed strategies …
Enterprises, incentives and networks
Path-dependence, the formation of technological irreversibilities and ownership patterns, have recently been salient aspects in the study of historical networks. This article analyses the formative years of public utilities in a period where the advantages of co-ordination, interconnection or integration between enterprises was still incipient. The purpose is to understand what happens when the competition to expand the physical extensions of nod…
Cartelization and Corporatism
This article examines institution building in the course of the transition to the authoritarian regime of the New State (Estado Novo) in Portugal. The special interest of the Portuguese experience derives from the fact that cartelization and corporatism were combined under the same policy and governed by the same legal framework. The first part of the article reconstructs the historical path from the micro perspective of the introduction of carte…
A estatística do corpo
Neste artigo procede-se à análise das diferentes tradições científicas da antropometria portuguesa, elucidando o aparecimento de uma estatística do corpo que permite, nos finais do século xix, fixar as imagens do criminoso-tipo, do criminoso-indíviduo e do criminoso-grupo. O conceito de esvaziamento dos saberes é de seguida introduzido para dar conta do modo de assimilação destes conhecimentos por parte do estado e da transformação de concepções …
