Assessing a rapidly changing landscape, this Handbook explores how
the scope and complexity of energy politics increases constantly
with the rise of new technologies, cyber security threats and
environmental concerns. Starting with the fundamentals, the
Handbook of Energy Politics covers the evolution of capital and
financial markets in the energy industry, as well as assessing the
effects of technology and environmental issues such as global
warming and geopolitical tensions. It is shown that a lack of
consensus on basic definitions and clear long-term goals on climate
and energy are hampering the sector?s ability to invest in
low-carbon growth. The importance of achieving and maintaining
positive relationships for effective consultation and engagement
with those directly affected by energy politics is emphasised, with
a focus on factors critical for sustainable development. The
authors also assess what we can learn from historical cases and the
steps we can take to mitigate potential energy risks in the future.
This Handbook will be an invaluable resource for upper level
graduates and postgraduates of public policy and environmental
politics. Policy makers, at state, regional and local levels will
benefit from the suggestions for future developments. Contributors
