Description

In 1994, the International Energy Agency (IEA) published Richard Scott's History of the International Energy Agency: The First Twenty Years. Ten years later, in commemoration of the IEA's thirtieth anniversary, it is especially appropriate to welcome this supplementary history of the Agency written by Craig S. Bamberger, the IEA's Legal Counsel from 1992 to 2001. This work serves as a useful complement to Mr. Scott's original writings, building on his framework and providing an updated record of the institutional development of the IEA, its policies and programmes. Readers will also see evidence of governments' changing views on the role of international organisations and gain insights into the evolution of energy policy. The IEA was established in November 1974 within the framework of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to ensure the energy security of industrialised countries in the wake of the OPEC oil embargo and energy crisis of 1973. During the past thirty years, much has changed. The IEA has grown from 15 to 26 Member countries. Energy security concerns have broadened beyond oil to include electricity, natural gas and other fuels and are now shared by many developing countries outside of the OECD. There is a growing recognition of the need to achieve a balance among energy security, economic growth and environmental protection. The IEA has adapted and adjusted to address these new challenges. Mr. Bamberger's work documents the IEA's response to the developments of the past decade and should prove a valuable resource for IEA Member country governments, IEA Secretariat staff, scholars and individuals interested in international organisations and energy policy. While Mr. Bamberger produced this work under contract with the IEA and was given assistance by the Secretariat, he has drafted this supplement independently and not as a representative of the Agency. I would like to acknowledge the considerable effort required to complete this book and note the efforts of Mr. Bamberger, Ms. Nancy Turck, current Legal Counsel of the IEA and her staff, the IEA's Public Information Office and other members of the IEA Secretariat, both present and past, who contributed to its completion.
