The Making of Europe's Critical Infrastructure - Common Connections and Shared Vulnerabilities (Hardcover): P. Hoegselius,... The Making of Europe's Critical Infrastructure - Common Connections and Shared Vulnerabilities (Hardcover)
P. Hoegselius, A Hommels, A. Kaijser, E. Van Der Vleuten, Erik Van Der Vleuten
R2,001 Discovery Miles 20 010 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Europe's critical infrastructure is a key concern to policymakers, NGOs, companies, and citizens today. A 2006 power line failure in northern Germany closed lights in Portugal in a matter of seconds. Several Russian-Ukrainian gas crises shocked politicians, entrepreneurs, and citizens thousands of kilometers away in Germany, France, and Italy. This book argues that present-day infrastructure vulnerabilities resulted from choices of infrastructure builders in the past. It inquires which, and whose, vulnerabilities they perceived, negotiated, prioritized, and inscribed in Europe's critical infrastructure. It does not take 'Europe' for granted, but actively investigates which countries and peoples were historically connected in joint interdependency, and why. In short, this collection unravels the simultaneous historical shaping of infrastructure, common vulnerabilities, and Europe.

Red Gas - Russia and the Origins of European Energy Dependence (Hardcover): P. Hoegselius Red Gas - Russia and the Origins of European Energy Dependence (Hardcover)
P. Hoegselius
R3,532 Discovery Miles 35 320 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book provides an alternative approach to analyzing Western Europe's much-debated dependence on Russian natural gas. The actual and potential consequences of this dependence have in recent years become a growing concern both in individual importing countries and at the level of the European Union. Russian gas exports have come to decisively influence EU-Russia relations and there is nowadays hardly any aspect of these relations that can be discussed without, directly or indirectly, taking into account natural gas. But despite the central importance of Russian natural gas exports in present-day European and Russian affairs, little attention has been paid to the political and economic decisions that - starting in the late 1960s - paved the way for large-scale imports of Russian gas. Applying a systems and risk perspective on international energy relations, author Per Hogselius investigates how and why governments, businesses, engineers and other actors sought to promote - and oppose- the establishment of an extensive East-West natural gas regime that seemed to overthrow the fundamental logic of the Cold War.
