Globalising Risk. 330 $aBiofuels 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. 606 $aBiomass energy$xPolitical aspects 606 $aBiomass energy$xGovernment policy 606 $aBiomass energy$vCase studies 606 $aEnvironmental management$2bicssc 615 0$aBiomass energy$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aBiomass energy$xGovernment policy. 615 0$aBiomass energy 615 7$aEnvironmental management 676 $a333.9539 700 $aSmith$b James$c(Africanist)$01520388 801 0$bN 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785332503321 996 $aBiofuels and the globalization of risk$93758941 997 $aUNINA
