Energy and GeopoliticsAuthor(s): Per Hgselius\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138038387, 978-1138038387\nSynopsis\nThe idea that energy shapes and is shaped by geopolitics is firmly rooted in the popular imagination and not without reason. Very few countries have the means to secure their energy needs through locally available supplies; instead, enduring dependencies upon other countries have developed. Given energys strategic significance, supply systems for fuels and electricity are now seamlessly interwoven with foreign policy and global politics. \n\nEnergy and Geopolitics enables students to enhance their understanding and sharpen their analytical skills with respect to the complex relations between energy supply, energy markets and international politics. Per Hgselius guides us through the complexities of world energy and international energy relations, examining a wide spectrum of fossil fuels, alongside.
