Resumo
Este artigo discute a política econômica externa dos EUA no período após a Segunda Guerra Mundial (II Guerra), focando nas relações anglo-americanas e a indústria de petróleo. Ao contrário do que normalmente se pensa, essas relações não foram amigáveis. Um dos principais objetivos dos EUA nesse período foi forçar a Inglaterra a abrir espaço para empresas norte-americanas no Commonwealth britânico e nas regiões petrolíferas do Oriente Médio. O trabalho analisa especificamente a política de petróleo dos EUA durante a implementação do Plano Marshall. Apesar de não questionar o impacto positivo do Plano em termos da recuperação econômica europeia, argumenta-se que, com relação à indústria petrolífera, o objetivo central do Plano foi garantir para produtores norte-americanos uma posição dominante no Oriente Médio.Referências
