An original contribution to our understanding of a phenomenon that
is reshaping the world, this title thoroughly discusses the
transformation of the energy security policy arena brought on by
two dramatic developments - the increased potential availability of
energy in many parts of the world on the supply side, and on the
demand side increasing concerns over the harmful effects on the
environment brought on by the use of fossil fuels. An in depth
discussion specifically focuses on what energy security means to
different countries, and examines which of those countries appear
to be managing their energy/climate transitions successfully and
which are having a more difficult time adapting to the new
environment. Part 1 introduces the topic, covering the main themes
and provides an overview of the chapters Part 2 provides a
framework for policy evaluation, considering the evolving factors
affecting energy security and the energy/climate policy trilemma
Parts 3 to 6 discuss energy transitions in the carbon producing
countries (Saudi Arabia, Canada, Iran, Russia, Mexico), in
intermediate carbon/producing/consuming countries (China, United
States, UK, Brazil, Argentina, South Africa), in carbon consuming
countries (Germany, Japan, South Korea, Israel, India, Spain) and
finally in carbon reduction countries (France, Denmark,
Switzerland) Part 7 looks at attempts at regional/international
cooperation Part 8 considers the prospects for the future,
examining technological breakthroughs. This title builds on the
theme of unfolding energy transformations driven by, but
increasingly constrained by climate/environmental considerations.
It is ideal for researchers and students in the areas of
environmental politics and policy, climate change, and energy and
climate security, as well as for academics and professionals.
