Handbook of the International Political Economy of Energy and Natural Resources

Edited by Andreas Goldthau, University of Erfurt, Germany, Michael F. Keating, Richmond, the American International University in London and Caroline Kuzemko, The University of Warwick, UK

'In the age of the Sustainable Development Goals, we can no longer afford to view energy in isolation from other resource ecologies, politics and economies. Covering a wide range of regions and sectors over 26 chapters, this Handbook provides a comprehensive and invaluable review of energy as a complex and contested terrain that intersects and overlaps with all areas of global politics in ways that can and should inform our understanding of international political economy. I highly recommend it.'</>--Peter Newell, University of Sussex, UK'Edward Elgar's Handbooks of Research on International Political Economy series has been providing an ambitious resource to scholars and teachers of IPE for over two decades now, and this volume maintains this fine tradition. This is a wide-ranging and timely summation of where and how energy and natural resources affect our common global political economy. Get your library to order it so you too can use it now!'--Randall Germain, Carleton University, Canada'This Handbook is a highly valuable addition to recent scholarly advancement into the political economy of energy. It stands out by its innovative perspective of combining the theoretical approaches of international political economy and global public policy for the purpose of identifying nexus thinking - the analysis of the intersection between energy and other policy sectors. From this, the book provides a myriad of empirical studies over 26 chapters which really brings home the message of how manifold and multi-faceted the present political economy of energy has become.'--Dag Harald Claes, University of Oslo, Norway
