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. 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aPetroleum$xProspecting$xEnvironmental aspects$zAlaska$zArctic National Wildlife Refuge 606 $aOil well drilling$xEnvironmental aspects$zAlaska$zArctic National Wildlife Refuge 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$xMilitary aspects$zUnited States 606 $aCorporate state$zUnited States 606 $aEnergy policy$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y2001-2009 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y2001-2009 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aPetroleum$xProspecting$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aOil well drilling$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xMilitary aspects 615 0$aCorporate state 615 0$aEnergy policy 676 $a338.2/7282/0973 700 $aStandlea$b David M.$f1956-$01594411 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810169803321 996 $aOil, globalization, and the war for the Arctic refuge$93914945 997 $aUNINA
