POWER ENERGY AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION - RE...

Founded in 1924 as the World Power Conference  the World Energy Council (WEC) was the first
international organization to confront the global issues raised by fuel and power. From the age
of empire through the Cold War to the present climate crisis  WEC has continued to serve as an
international forum where the major challenges posed by energy have been debated and defined.
WEC has evolved alongside historic changes in global energy demand and the mix of fuels  from
coal and oil to nuclear and renewables. This book tells the story of WEC. It charts the growth
of an international energy community in the course of these energy transitions and reveals the
shifting meanings of energy and expertise. This history of WEC offers a vital insight into the
social  cultural and political forces that have shaped energy in the contemporary world.
