Description: Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy by Michael T. Klare Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From the author of the now-classic "Resource Wars" comes an indispensable account of how the worlds diminishing sources of energy are radically changing the international balance of power. Publisher Description "Klare's superb book explains, in haunting detail, the trends that will lead us into a series of dangerous traps unless we muster the will to transform the way we use energy."—Bill McKibbenOil recently hit $140 a barrel, and it is still climbing. Unlike the oil shocks of the 1970s, this dizzying leap is not the product of an OPEC embargo or a sudden flare-up in the Middle East. Rather, it is a harbinger of a permanent new structure of world power, one in which market forces and military strength matter far less than the scarcity of vital natural resources.Now in paperback, "Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet" surveys the energy-driven dynamic that is reconfiguring the international landscape: Russia, the battered Cold War loser, is now the arrogant broker of Eurasian energy, and the United States, once the world's superpower, must now compete with the emerging "Chindia" juggernaut for finite and diminishing resources. Forecasting a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger, Michael T. Klare, the preeminent expert on resource geopolitics, argues that the only route to survival in our radically altered world lies through international cooperation. Author Biography Michael T.
