This Handbook is the first volume to analyse the International Political Economy, the who-gets-what-when-and-how, of global energy. Divided into five sections, it features 28 contributions that deal with energy institutions, trade, transitions, conflict and justice. The chapters span a wide range of energy technologies and markets - including oil and gas, biofuels, carbon capture and storage, nuclear, and electricity - and it cuts across the domestic-international divide.

Produktbeschreibung
This Handbook is the first volume to analyse the International Political Economy, the who-gets-what-when-and-how, of global energy. Divided into five sections, it features 28 contributions that deal with energy institutions, trade, transitions, conflict and justice. The chapters span a wide range of energy technologies and markets - including oil and gas, biofuels, carbon capture and storage, nuclear, and electricity - and it cuts across the domestic-international divide. Long-standing issues in the IPE of energy such as the role of OPEC and the 'resource curse' are combined with emerging issues such as fossil fuel subsidies and carbon markets. IPE perspectives are interwoven with insights from studies on governance, transitions, security, and political ecology. The Handbook serves as a potent reminder that energy systems are as inherently political and economic as they are technical or technological, and demonstrates that the field of IPE has much to offer to studies of the changing world of energy.

Rezensionen
"Besides filling a gap in the IPE literature, it also provides potential readers, especially scholars, young researchers, policymakers and the interested public, with an assemblage of compelling state-of-the-art reviews of many traditional IPE energy- policy and politics-related themes. Moreover, it provides thoughtful readings on a recently growing literature covering emerging global energy issues that constitute a major global - and still, national - concern of our time." (Rosana Icassatti Corazza and Paulo Sérgio Fracalanza, Contexto Internacional, Vol. 42 (1), 2020)
"The Palgrave Handbook of the International Political Economy of Energy stands out from the pack. ... this book represents an important contribution to the study of global energy policy. ... it will prove an invaluable reference not only for scholars of energy seeking greater theoretical rigor, but also for policymakerswho are often left grappling in the dark for the best way to manage energy at the global level given the lack of existing theories and concepts to turn to." (Christian Downie, global Policy, globalpolicyjournal.com, February, 2018)
