Palgrave Handbook of the International Political Economy of Energy

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.
