title = "The OECD oil Committee and the international search for reinforced energy-consumer cooperation (1972–1973)",
abstract = "This chapter concentrates on the incapacity of the energy-consumer countries to produce effective cooperation in the period 1972–73. It is interesting that, despite this failure, in mid-December 1973 the American initiative for improved international cooperation in energy was renewed with far more success. In general, it has been understood as a direct consequence of the 1973 oil shock. Its longer term origins, however, have often been overlooked. Kissinger{\textquoteright}s proposition in December 1973 had not been the first serious call for an improved cooperation of energy-consumer countries. As a matter of fact, the theme was already on the international agenda since at least a year and a half and steps had already been made for its realisation. The oil shock and the linked international economic problems were thus not the sole factors which played a role in the creation of the IEA. It is therefore the ambition of this chapter to fill in some blank spots in our understanding of this process. ",
