Reviews

This book investigates how deep changes in the world of global energy are adding to the profound political and economic crises and conflicts of the Middle East and North Africa. Examining this interplay from numerous angles, the book's findings provide very important insights into this extremely complex and volatile part of the world. - Dr. h.c. Gernot Erler, Former Minister of State at the German Federal Foreign Office. The problematic nexus between energy and politics lies at the heart of developments in the Middle East and North Africa today. The ambition of this book is to explore that nexus comprehensively, in all its complex dimensions: domestic and international; and social, economic and political. No other major work has attempted so wide-ranging an analysis. The remarkable achievement of the book is that it integrates the diverse elements effectively, providing anã interpretation which significantly advances our understanding of this complex and highly Important region. - Professor Timothy C. Niblock, University of Exeter, UK. This is a comprehensive study of the dynamics between geopolitics and energy, specifically between 2010 and 2016, which fills a gap in current research. It addresses the recent shifts in politics and societies in the energy sector, looking at geopolitics and energy and their dynamics in the MENA region. An extremely timely and relevant work. - Professor Volker Perthes, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, German Institue for International and Security Affairs, Berlin.
