Agricultural Land Use and Natural Gas Extraction Conflicts

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"The extent to which the development of shale gas (and shale oil) over the past decade has changed the global energy game is difficult to overstate. This timely book offers the first comprehensive review of these issues in a number of key nations and will no doubt find a ready readership among the many who must grapple with these challenges in the years ahead." - taken from the Foreword, John Paterson, University of Aberdeen, UK

"This book presents an excellent account of the socio-regulatory environment in seven shale gas holding countries, highlighting the intractable tension between securing energy supply and a sustainable habitat. More importantly even, Madeline Taylor and Tina Hunter have written an absolutely timely book on a crucial aspect of the unconventional gas conundrum: how agricultural landowners can be empowered vis-a-vis the gas industry, and how the regulatory governance makes a difference. This book will be an invaluable resource for both scholars and practitioners alike." - Andreas Goldthau, Royal Holloway University of London, UK "The extent to which the development of shale gas (and shale oil) over the past decade has changed the global energy game is difficult to overstate.

It is a stimulating work by two distinguished Australian scholars. They have dedicated their research to 'the land and the brave farmers who have lost their lives trying to safeguard it.' --OGEL (Oil, Gas & Energy Law Intelligence), May 2019.
