  • French Connection 1 French Connection
    French Connection 1 French Connection The French Connection was a scheme through which heroin was smuggled from Turkey to France and then to the United States. The operation reached its peak in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and was responsible for providing the vast majority of the illicit heroin used in the United States. It was headed by the Corsican criminals Paul Carbone (and his associate François Spirito) and Antoine Guérini, and also involved Auguste Ricord, Paul Mondoloni, Salvatore Greco,[citation needed] and Meyer Lansky.[citation needed] Most of its starting capital came from assets that Ricord had stolen during World War II when he worked for Henri Lafont, one of the heads of the Carlingue (French Gestapo) during the German occupation in World War II.[citation needed] From the 1930s to the 1950s Illegal heroin labs were first discovered near Marseille, France, in 1937. These labs were run by the notorious Corsican gang leader Paul Carbone. For years, the Corsican underworld had been involved in the manufacturing and trafficking of illegal heroin abroad, primarily to the United States.[1] It was this heroin network that eventually became known as the "French Connection". The Corsican Gang was closely allied with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the SDECE after World War II in order to prevent French communists from bringing the Old Port of Marseille under their control. [2] Historically, the raw material for most of the heroin consumed in the United States came from Indochina, then Turkey. Turkish farmers were licensed to grow opium poppies for sale to legal drug companies, but many sold their excess to the underworld market, where it was manufactured into heroin and transported to the United States.

  • Les États-Unis, La France Et Les Filières Corses Ou Les Origines Géopolitiques De La Loi De 1970
    31 50 ANS DE LA LOI 1970 Les États-Unis, la France et les filières corses ou les origines géopolitiques de la loi de 1970 Michel Gandilhon / OFDT Alexandre Marchant / agrégé et docteur en histoire Il y a cinquante ans, l’Assemblée nationale unanime votait la loi dite de 1970 contre l’usage et le trafic de drogues. Si un certain nombre de chercheurs et d’historiens ont expliqué cette unanimité par une « panique morale » sévissant dans une classe politique fondamentalement conservatrice, très peu d’entre eux ont mis l’accent sur les soubassements géopolitiques de cette histoire. Notamment les énormes pressions exercées par le pouvoir américain, affolé par l’épidémie d’héroïne qui sévissait alors aux États-Unis, sur une France qui sortait à peine du gaullisme et qui était un des plus gros producteurs de cette substance au monde.

Derrière les grands débats sur les relations internationales et transnationales, la question des mobilités a souvent été négligée. Et pourtant, force est de constater que les circulations entre l’Europe et l’Afrique ne se sont jamais complètement interrompues depuis la colonisation et connaissent même aujourd’hui un très net regain. Compte tenu du faible nombre de travaux sur ces thèmes, les contributions réunies dans ce numéro visent à décrire ces mobilités, dans leurs régimes et leurs diversités historiques et contemporaines, mais aussi géographiques (Maghreb, Afrique francophone, lusophone, anglophone). Il est aussi question d’ouvrir la réfl exion à l’échelle des populations européennes en Afrique plutôt que de se concentrer sur les seuls agents nationaux de la colonisation. Les références, dans les articles, à l’histoire coloniale, à la variété des désirs migratoires ainsi qu’à l’importance des contextes locaux socio-historiques, revisitent la lourde question du rapport colonial et ouvre un débat théorique sur le sens de ces mobilités.

  • The Political Economy of Lebanon, 1943-75
    A Deal with the Devil: The Political Economy of Lebanon, 1943-75 By Nick Chafic Kardahji A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Beshara Doumani, Co-Chair Professor James Vernon, Co-Chair Professor Daniel J. Sargent Professor Cihan Z. Tugal Spring 2015 Abstract A Deal With the Devil: The Political Economy of Lebanon, 1943-75 by Nick Chafic Kardahji Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Beshara Doumani, Co-Chair Professor James Vernon, Co-Chair This dissertation is a contribution to the reframing of the history of postcolonial Lebanon, and in particular the era between independence from France and the outbreak of the civil war of 1975-90. The dissertation’s central argument is that rather than seeing postcolonial Lebanese history as a product of the contentious interaction between sectarian social groups, as is common in much of the literature on Lebanon, it is more useful to see that history as a product of the struggle to impose and maintain a liberal, laisseZ-faire economic model by the dominant faction of the postcolonial ruling elite, the commercial-financial bourgeoisie. This economic model entailed, in essence, appending the Lebanese economy to those of other regional powers, particularly the oil states of the Gulf, in order to continue the country’s colonial-era role as an entrepôt for the broader Middle East. As a result of its attachment to the economies of regional states, and its concentration in finance, trade, and the service sector, the Lebanese model was both highly unstable and grossly unequal.

  • Marseille: America's Heroin Laboratory
    MARSEILLE: AMERICA'S HEROIN LABORATORY 31 Almost inevitably, all the foreign powers and corrupt politicians who have ruled Marseille for the last forty years have allied themselves with the Corsican syndicates: French Fascists used them to battle Communist demonstrators in the 1930s; the Nazi Gestapo used them to spy on the Communist underground during World War 11; and the CIA paid them to break Communist strikes in 1947 and 1950. The last of these alliances proved the most significant, since it put the Corsicans in a powerful 2 enoueh position to establish Marseille as the postwar heroin capital of the Western world and to cement a long-term partnership with Mafia • drug distributors. The Corsicans had always cooperated well with the Sicilians, for there are striking similarities of culture and tradition between the two groups, Marseille: America's Heroin Laboratory Separated by only three hundred miles of blue Mediterranean water, both Sicily and Corsica are arid, mountainous islands lying off the west coast of the Italian peninsula. Although Corsica has been a French province since the late 1700s, its people have been strongly influenced by Italian Catholic culture.
