- Summary:
- "Floating Power considers the role of energy production on an international scale, challenging the idea that the introduction of new infrastructures wholly replaces older sources of energy. Shifting the discussion from energy transition to energy accumulation, Gökçe Günel suggests that humans consistently add new energy sources to the mix without retiring more outdated and environmentally harmful sources. Günel engages with a range of power producers including hydroelectric, heavy fuel oil, natural gas, and solar power plants, and she takes as her primary focus a Turkish-built floating power plant in Ghana. Günel maps and analyzes the development and expansion of Turkish international business networks, mainly in Africa, and contextualizes the ship within these larger geoeconomic and geopolitical relations"-- Provided by publisher.
