The European Reconstruction, 1948-61: Bibliography on the Marshall Plan and the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation

Initially set up for the purpose of distributing Marshall Plan aid, the OEEC played a major role in the progress of the western European countries towards post-war recovery. The annotated list of the OEEC’s individual publications and periodicals shows the extent of its contribution to this end. Every effort has been made to indicate the latest stage of research concerning the items listed. The founding charter of the OEEC and a selective chronology of events have been added to facilitate the study of the beginnings of European reconstructions as well as an understanding of the background of the historical archives of the OEEC which have finally been opened to the public. L'OECE, chargee initialement de repartir et d'administrer l'aide du Plan Marshall, a joue un role essentiel dans l'effort de redressement des pays d'Europe occidentale dans l'apres-guerre. La liste commentee des ouvrages et periodiques de l'OECE permet de mesurer l'ampleur de sa contribution. La presentation des ouvrages et articles tente de faire le point sur l'etat le plus recent des recherches. Pour faciliter l'etude des debuts de la reconstruction europeenne et l'analyse des archives historiques de l'OECE, qui viennent d'etre enfin ouvertes au public, le texte fondateur de l'OECE et une chronologie selective completent ce recueil de donnees.
