Description
Global Energy Politics by Thijs Van de Graaf and Benjamin Sovacool explores how energy systems have shaped global outcomes in four key areas: security, economy, environment, and global justice. The authors uncover the intricate connections between energy, environmental politics, and community activism, revealing a transformative shift that promises to upend the global balance of power. This book offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationships between energy, politics, and society. By moving beyond traditional geopolitical focus, Van de Graaf and Sovacool argue that we are on the cusp of a global energy shift that could fundamentally transfer political authority away from nation-states and empower citizens, regions, and local communities. A valuable resource for students of social sciences grappling with major energy issues, Global Energy Politics provides essential insights into the ongoing energy transformation and its implications for wealth, power, and politics.
