| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Les compagnies pétrolières britanniques British Petroleum (BP) et Shell ont joué un rôle politique et économique actif dans l’Afrique postindépendance des années 1960 et 1970. Deux événements, la guerre civile au Nigeria et la lutte autour de l’indépendance de la Rhodésie, révèlent la persistance de cette influence. Dans un cas comme dans l’autre, les décisions prises sur le terrain n’étaient pas sous le contrôle des sièges sociaux de BP et de Shell, mais de leurs filiales locales. Cet article démontre que ces filiales ont souvent agi en fonction de ce qu’elles estimaient être leurs intérêts propres, à l’encontre des intérêts de leurs sociétés mères et de ceux des instances dirigeantes de la politique étrangère britannique. L’influence des compagnies pétrolières en Afrique est donc bien moins directe, et plus complexe, qu’on n’aurait pu le penser. |
| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | British oil companies British Petroleum (BP) and Shell played an active political and economic role in post-independence Africa in the 1960s and 1970s. Two events – the Nigerian civil war and the struggle for Rhodesian independence – underscore the persistence of this influence. Decisions taken on the ground in both cases were not done so under the control of BP and Shell headquarters however, but rather of their local subsidiary companies. This article shows how these subsidiaries often acted based on what they deemed were their own best interests rather than in the interests of the mother corporation or of the governing authorities of British foreign policy. The influence of oil companies in Africa is as such much less direct and more complex than we may have previously thought. |
