Reviews

Global Energy Security and American Hegemony should definitely be on your reading list. -- Aaron W. Hughey Daily News This well-researched book is impressive in its scholarship and insightful analysis of US pursuit of hegemony in oil-rich regions... Highly recommended. Choice Rests on a... grounded theoretical framework. International Affairs

This sober analysis of the dynamics of U.S. power, focusing on the quest for energy security and the use of coercive power in the 'oil-rich global South,' is a significant corrective to the recent overemphasis on the personalities of presidents and the ideology of neo-conservatism. This persuasive book helps its readers to understand the essential continuities of the grand strategy of the U.S. state in the pursuit of the 'necessities' to maintain predominance in the global order. - Ken Booth, Aberystwyth University
