Energy Politics In The Middle East: Navigating The Global Transition (Geopolitics)
Description
From oil supercycles to solar mega-parks, the Middle East is where yesterday's energy meets tomorrow's grid. Energy Politics in the Middle East: Navigating the Global Transition explains how hydrocarbons, renewables, and geopolitics now move in lockstep-and what that means for markets, security, and growth.
This concise, practitioner-focused report tracks the region's energy arc: the historical rise of oil and gas; the bargaining power behind pricing and production; and the strategic surge of LNG. It then pivots to the buildout of solar and wind, the promise and limits of hydrogen and storage, and the digital backbone-smart grids, AI, blockchain-that will determine resilience and competitiveness. You'll also find a frank assessment of diversification programs (including Vision 2030), regulatory reform, cross-border corridors, and the scenarios most likely to shape outcomes through 2030-2050.
What you'll learn:
- How oil, gas, and LNG influence diplomacy, conflict risk, and trade routes.
- Which renewable deployments are investable today-and which technologies will unlock the next wave.
- How CCS, storage, and hydrogen fit into realistic decarbonization pathways.
- Why policy design and governance decide whether diversification sticks.
- How to use scenario planning to navigate volatility and seize opportunity.
Ideal for policy professionals, energy executives, investors, researchers, and graduate students, this book turns complexity into clarity-so you can brief, plan, and act.
