This book explores the evolving roles of energy stakeholders and
geopolitical considerations, leveraging on the dizzying array of
planned and actual projects for solar, wind, hydropower,
waste-to-energy, and nuclear power in the region. Over the next few
decades, favorable economics for low carbon energy sources combined
with stagnant oil demand growth will facilitate a shift away from
today's fossil fuel-based energy system. Will the countries of the
Middle East and North Africa be losers or leaders in this energy
transition? Will state-society relations undergo a change as a
result? It suggests that ultimately, politics more so than
economics or environmental pressure will determine the speed,
scope, and effects of low carbon energy uptake in the region. This
book is of interest to academics working in the fields of
International Relations, International Political Economy,
Comparative Political Economy, Energy Economics, and International
Business. Consultants, practitioners, policy-makers, and risk
analysts will also find the insights helpful.

transformative contribution of the Scottish Enlightenment to
modernity by examining three central themes: the Scots' pioneering

development of the Scots 'science of human nature' and the
emergence of the modern political economy.

While there have been great accomplishments in the area of women's
history as well as education, Darlene Clark Hine points that "black
women's history is just beginning to emerge as a vital area within
women's and Afro American history, and much work remains to be
done." Part of the work that "remains" both in the field of human
sexuality as well as Black women's history includes uncovering the
voices of elder women who have been overlooked and undervalued.
This book attempts to fill the remaining space with accounts of
sexuality education and experiences as told by Black women, thereby
contributing to current sex education literature by providing a
glimpse into sexuality education and its resulting impact on Black
women in the 1920s - 1940s. Moreover this book adds to both Black
women's sexual history and sexuality education in that it makes
visible that which was once invisible. The oral histories presented
here should prove helpful to Black people, young and old, as well
as students, educators and researchers interested in the history of
sexuality education and/or Women of Color.
