The abundant and intermittent nature of sources, possibilities for decentral generation and use of rare earth materials, and generally electric nature of distribution make renewable energy systems very different from those of fossil fuels. What do these geographic and technical characteristics imply for infrastructure topology and operations, business models, and energy markets? What are the consequences for strategic realities and policy considerations of producer, consumer, and transit countries and energy-related patterns of cooperation and conflict between them? Who are the likely winners and losers? The Geopolitics of Renewables is the first in-depth exploration of the implications for interstate energy relations of a transition towards renewable energy. Fifteen international scholars combine insights from several disciplines - international relations, geopolitics, energy security, renewable energy technology, economics, sustainability transitions, and energy policy - to establish a comprehensive overview and understanding of the emerging energy game. Focus is on contemporary developments and how they may shape the coming decades on three levels of analysis: · The emerging global energy game; winners and losers · Regional and bilateral energy relations of established and rising powers · Infrastructure developments and governance responses The book is recommended for academics and policy makers. It offers a novel analytical framework that moves from geography and technology to economics and politics to investigate the geopolitical implications of renewable energy and provides practical illustrations and policy recommendations related to specific countries and regions such as the US, EU, China, India, OPEC, and Russia. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Energy,$x2195-1284 ;$v61 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy policy 606 $aEnergy security 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aNatural resources 606 $aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/112000 606 $aEnergy Security$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/121000 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aNatural Resource and Energy Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48010 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy policy. 615 0$aEnergy security. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aNatural resources. 615 14$aEnergy Policy, Economics and Management. 615 24$aEnergy Security. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aNatural Resource and Energy Economics. 676 $a333.79 686 $a68.04.20$2EP-CLASS 686 $a68.04$2EP-CLASS 686 $a08.08.08$2EP-CLASS 702 $aScholten$b Daniel$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299590103321 996 $aThe Geopolitics of Renewables$92161296 997 $aUNINA
