The Geopolitics of Energy analyzes the present worldwide energy situation and its likely evolution over the remainder of the century, considering developments in coal, gas, and nuclear energy, the outlook for oil, and the implications for U.S. foreign policy, intra-Western alliance relations, and North-South and East-West relations. The authors conclude with policy recommendations for the United States based on their analysis. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 242 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 July 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe industrialized countries face significant vulnerability to supply disruptions caused by their continued dependence on foreign sources of oil. This dependence has led to a concentration of control over these resources in the hands of a few less-developed countries, whose interests may not always align with those of the consuming, industrialized nations. In response to this challenge, there is a need to explore strategies for reducing this vulnerability and ensuring access to Middle East oil is made more secure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Geopolitics of Energy provides a comprehensive analysis of the present worldwide energy situation and its likely evolution over the course of the next century. The book examines the potential developments in coal, gas, and nuclear energy, as well as the outlook for oil, which is expected to remain the dominant energy source at least through the 1990s. The authors also consider the implications of this energy outlook for U.S. foreign policy, intra-Western alliance relations, and North-South and East-West relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy identifying the issues that will concern governments as long as the need for oil is pervasive, until alternative energy sources begin contributing significantly to the world's energy supply, the authors conclude with policy recommendations for the United States based on their analysis of the energy situation and its consequences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is based on a report prepared for the U.S. Department of Defense, highlighting the importance of addressing these challenges and developing a more secure and sustainable energy future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 450g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367307950\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Melvin A Conant,Fern R Gold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104491499770,"sku":"9780367307950","price":40.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659092724155_book.jpg?v=1659344243","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-geopolitics-of-energy-9780367307950","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
