Abstract

In this paper, we historicise the co-production of regional visions and governing practices for hydrocarbon explorations in the particular case of Greece. The paper aims to contribute a new understanding of state-building processes by studying how visions and infrastructures steered energy policies, (re-)configured hydrocarbon resource spaces and shaped technopolitical order in the Eastern Mediterranean. Chronologically, the storyline is divided into three distinct periods, in which visions and related practices shaped the hydrocarbon space: the first period in which the hydrocarbon space was constructed, the second period in which a non-commons truce was maintained to avoid conflict, and the final period in which a cosmopolitan common in the Eastern Mediterranean emerged.

从国家到世界碳氢化合物资源空间:希腊的碳氢化合物、跨国政治和国家

在本文中，我们将希腊特殊情况下油气勘探的区域愿景和治理实践的共同生产历史化。本文旨在通过研究愿景和基础设施如何引导能源政策、(重新)配置碳氢化合物资源空间和塑造东地中海地区的技术政治秩序，为国家建设过程提供新的理解。按照时间顺序，故事情节被分为三个不同的时期，在这三个时期，愿景和相关实践塑造了碳氢化合物空间:第一个时期，碳氢化合物空间被构建;第二个时期，维持非公地休战以避免冲突;最后一个时期，东地中海出现了一个世界公地。

期刊介绍： The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
