In light of the rapid fluctuations in oil prices and subsequent
impact on the stability and economic perspectives of energy
producing and energy importing states in the Western Hemisphere,
this book stresses the urgency to integrate sustainability at the
very core of national energy security strategies. From Canada to
Argentina, this edited volume analyzes a series of case studies and
diverging paradigms across the continent. It underlines how the
relatively recent exploitation of unconventional energy sources in
North America and the resulting impact on prices impact the
geopolitical concerns of traditional producers. It also explains
how much energy strategies are central to the development of
national economies and the stability of their society. Highlighting
the shortcomings in several countries even at a time of high
prices, the volume makes the case for an inclusive and holistic
approach to energy security that would integrate environmental
concerns at its very core. This edited volume also explains how
this new energy independence of the western Hemisphere affects its
foreign policy with the main international actors in the field of
energy whether traditional producers or consumers. Finally, it
provides key insights on successful strategy towards the
development of alternative sources of energy.
This volume examines the foreign policy transition from George W.
Bush to Barack H. Obama in relation to the countries of the
Americas. In this work, contributors consider the major defining
features of their respective policies in dealing with
security-related issues. Specifically, they examine whether major
differences or continuities truly exist between the foreign
policies of Bush and Obama, especially given the perception of
American decline. The volume highlights Obama's foreign policy in
the Americas, focusing on issue areas that threaten international
security, such as drug trafficking, organized crime, and terrorism.
This work provides both theoretical and policy insights for
academics and policy analysts interested in foreign affairs.
