Low Carbon Energy in the Middle East and North Africa: International Political Economy Series

Editat de Robin Mills, Li-Chen Sim
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 feb 2022
This book explores the evolving roles of energy stakeholders and geopolitical considerations, leveraging on the dizzying array of planned and actual projects for solar, wind, hydropower, waste-to-energy, and nuclear power in the region. Over the next few decades, favorable economics for low carbon energy sources combined with stagnant oil demand growth will facilitate a shift away from today’s fossil fuel-based energy system. Will the countries of the Middle East and North Africa be losers or leaders in this energy transition? Will state–society relations undergo a change as a result? It suggests that ultimately, politics more so than economics or environmental pressure will determine the speed, scope, and effects of low carbon energy uptake in the region. This book is of interest to academics working in the fields of International Relations, International Political Economy, Comparative Political Economy, Energy Economics, and International Business. Consultants, practitioners, policy-makers, and risk analysts will also find the insights helpful.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book compellingly illustrates how the transition to renewable and nuclear energy may fundamentally change the energy system dynamics of a region that has long been known for hydrocarbon-dependence and political strife.
–Steve Griffiths, Senior Vice President, Research and Development, Professor of Practice, Khalifa University of Science and Technology, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
This book is an essential guide for policy makers, analysts and academics trying to make sense of the dynamics, policies and motives driving the change to a more sustainable energy future in the MENA region.

If you want to know how the global march towards greening our energy is impacting the Middle East and North Africa region, this book is a must-read.
