In the global North the commoditization of creativity and knowledge
under the banner of a creative economy is being posed as the
post-industrial answer to dependency on labour and natural
resources. Not only does it promise a more stable and sustainable
future, but an economy focused on intellectual property is more
environmentally friendly, so it is suggested. Contested Powers
argues that the fixes being offered by this model are bluffs;
development as witnessed in Latin American energy politics and
governance remains hindered by a global division of labour and
nature that puts the capacity for technological advancement in
private hands. The authors call for a multi-layered understanding
of sovereignty, arguing that it holds the key to undermining rigid
accounts of the relationship between carbon and democracy, energy
and development, and energy and political expression. Furthermore,
a critical focus on energy politics is crucial to wider debates on
development and sustainability. Contested Powers is essential
reading for those wondering how energy resources are converted into
political power and why we still value the energy we take from our
surroundings more than the means of its extraction.
