"Natural Gas and Geopolitics: From 1970 to 2040" ed. by D.G. Victor, A.M. Jaffe, and M.H. Hayes (Repost)

This book investigates the implications of this shift, utilizing historical case studies as well as advanced economic modelling to examine the interplay between economic and political factors in the development of natural gas resources.

The contributors aim to shed light on the political challenges which may accompany a shift to a gas-fed world.
Delivering gas from the world’s major reserves to the future demand centres will require a major expansion of inter-regional, cross-border gas transport infrastructures.
