Globalising Risk.Biofuels and the Globalization of Risk offers a fresh, compelling analysis of the politics and policies behind the biofuels story, with its technological optimism and often-idealized promises for the future. This essential new critique argues that investment in biofuels may reconfigure risk and responsibility, whereby the global South is encouraged to invest its future in growing biofuel crops, often at the expense of food, in order that the global North may continue its unsustainable energy consumption unabated and guilt-free. Thus, Smith argues, biofuels may constitute the biggest change in North--South relationships since colonialism.Biomass energyPolitical aspectsBiomass energyGovernment policyBiomass energyCase studiesBiomass energyPolitical aspects.Biomass energyGovernment policy.Biomass energy333.9539Smith JamesPh.
