This timely book provides a comprehensive overview of the intricate links between energy politics and international conflicts. Dag Harald Claes brings together global experts to explore the political and economic implications of the uncertainty driven by climate change, COVID-19, and wars in the Middle East and Ukraine.
Energy Politics in a Turbulent Era takes an interdisciplinary approach to the interaction between geopolitical unrest and various energy sectors spanning oil, gas, nuclear, and renewable energy. Combining insights from history, economics, and political science, it covers key topics such as European energy turbulence, non-fossil sectors, and the influence of key actors including the US, China, Russia, and OPEC. It also explores the effectiveness of different countries' strategies for alleviating turbulence and the ramifications of unprecedented geopolitical events on energy policies and markets.
This book presents valuable insights for scholars and students of political science, economics, public policy, and environmental politics. It is also a beneficial read for practitioners and policymakers in the field.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Turbulence isn't just a headline - it's the key to decoding today's energy world. In this volume, leading experts show how disruptions - from pandemics to war - are reshaping energy security, markets, and geopolitics, from oil and gas to renewables and nuclear. A crisp, essential guide to the new energy order.' -- Thijs Van de Graaf, Ghent University, Belgium
