Produktbeschreibung

This volume brings together eight original articles from leading scholars on the politics of energy, examining the natural resources and developing technologies that are essential to its production to the various public and private factors affecting its use, along with the ecological consequences of both. From imperatives to reduce fossil fuel combustion based in concerns for energy security and climate change, it considers the promises and challenges posed by nuclear power and renewable sources and the social and political obstacles to developing a sustainable and secure energy policy.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Environmental Politics.
