The "end of oil" threatens the very future of Western civilization. Oil, Globalization, and the War for the Arctic Refuge examines the politics of drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and presents this controversy as a precursor of future "resource wars" where ideas and values collide and polarize. The reader is introduced to the primary participants involved: global corporations, politicians, nongovernmental organizations, indigenous peoples and organizations, and human rights/religious organizations. Author David M. Standlea argues in favor of seeing this comparatively "local" conflict as part of a larger struggle between the proponents of an alternative, positive vision for the future and an American culture presently willing to sacrifice that future for immediate profit.Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsUnited StatesPetroleumProspectingEnvironmental aspectsAlaskaArctic National Wildlife RefugeOil well drillingEnvironmental aspectsAlaskaArctic National Wildlife RefugePetroleum industry and tradeMilitary aspectsUnited StatesCorporate stateUnited StatesEnergy policyUnited StatesUnited StatesPolitics and government2001-2009United StatesForeign relations2001-2009Petroleum industry and tradePolitical aspectsPetroleumProspectingEnvironmental aspectsOil well drillingEnvironmental aspectsPetroleum industry and tradeMilitary aspectsCorporate stateEnergy policy338.2/7282/0973Standlea David M.1956-1805024MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961343303321Oil, globalization, and the war for the Arctic refuge4353371UNINA
