Summary:

"The energy transition is fundamentally transforming geopolitics, with renewable energy and other decarbonization options reshaping existing energy markets, trade flows, and energy security strategies. What new opportunities and challenges await us? Will it pacify global energy relations or bring a perilous transition? This comprehensive Handbook discusses the geopolitical implications of the energy transition. The first part summarizes established insights and delivers suitable notions and analytical frameworks to investigate the phenomenon. Subsequent parts then provide a detailed and comparative overview of the geopolitics of the energy transition from different perspectives: expectations, technologies, and countries. Combined, the chapters provide a quintessential starting point for scholars and practitioners and prepare them for changes to come. The Handbook on the Geopolitics of the Energy Transition is essential for students of politics, geography, environmental studies and international relations seeking to grasp the present circumstances of renewable energy geopolitics. It also benefits policy makers working in sectors such as energy and foreign policy"-- Provided by publisher.
