English | ISBN: 3031532457 | 2024 | 177 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book discusses climate change from an academic point of view centered on and from Latin America. Although climate change is a global issue, there has been a notable lack of input from the Latin American perspective, which means that many Latin American intellectuals often bring ideas, tools and potential solutions proposed by external, international research centers or organizations to the region. This book embraces a Latin American viewpoint to critically engage the problem and many of the concepts used in the analysis of climate change.

India’s Energy Diplomacy in Eurasia Geopolitical and Geo-economic Perspectives


Free Download Aslam Khan, "India’s Energy Diplomacy in Eurasia: Geopolitical and Geo-economic Perspectives"
English | ISBN: 9819982804 | 2023 | 336 pages | PDF | 6 MB
This book provides an accurate evaluation of re-integration of Eurasia in the context of India’s energy security and diplomacy which requires a normative shift as in the current Eurasian geopolitical and geo-economic matrix, the growing role of transit countries and their proximity with the Energy Complex Zone negates the fact that great powers or strong states control the Eurasian Heartland. Authors believe that wrecking this norm is fundamental here to deconstruct the undercurrents of energy geopolitics prevailing in Eurasia over the emerging phenomenon, as it discourages the re-integration of the Eurasian region. It explores how the geopolitical struggle between major powers for energy resources has been engendering mutual interdependencies between energy producers and transit countries.

Geopolitical Turmoil in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean


Free Download Hall Gardner, "Geopolitical Turmoil in the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean"
English | ISBN: 3031343174 | 2023 | 342 pages | PDF | 5 MB
This edited book will examine the Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean from multidimensional geo-strategic, political-economic, socio-cultural/religious and demographic perspectives. It analyzes the conflicting geopolitical interests of the major and regional powers, as well as those of NATO and the European Union, with a focus on energy, democracy and corruption, shifts in population, as well as religious political influence. The authors argue that the US, NATO and EU leaderships can no longer afford to ignore the two regions ― if the increasing potential for conflict is to be averted. The Balkans and Eastern Mediterranean are returning to a major position in the contemporary geostrategic nexus since NATO began a new expansion into the Balkans by bringing Montenegro in 2017 and North Macedonia in March 2020 into membership, after its previous expansion to Slovenia in NATO’s "Big Bang" in 2004 and to both Albania and Croatia in 2009.

Geopolitical Perspectives from the Italian Border Introducing Gianfranco Battisti, Triestino Geographer


Free Download Christian Sellar, "Geopolitical Perspectives from the Italian Border: Introducing Gianfranco Battisti, Triestino Geographer "
English | ISBN: 3031260430 | 2023 | 151 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book presents the work of Gianfranco Battisti, on Geopolitics and Border Geographies in north-eastern Italy, Europeanization, and Globalization, contributing to debates on the inclusion of non-English speaking scholars in international geography. It highlights the institutions and cultures that shaped more than fifty years of his writing, as they emerged through his biography, theoretical contributions, and methods. Battisti uses historical geographies as tools to explain contemporary geopolitics while maintaining a high attentiveness to data-driven research. He applies these tools to investigate ‘geographical facts’ at the local, regional and global scale, viewed from the distinctive viewpoint of the city of Trieste, a laboratory of geopolitical change for more than two centuries.

Global Geopolitical Power and African Political and Economic Institutions When Elephants Fight


Free Download John James Quinn, "Global Geopolitical Power and African Political and Economic Institutions: When Elephants Fight"
English | ISBN: 0739196448 | 2015 | 394 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Global Geopolitical Power and African Political and Economic Institutions: When Elephants Fight describes the emergence and nature of the prevailing African political and economic institutions in two periods. In the first, most countries adopted political and economic institutions that funneled significant levels of political and economic power to the political elites, usually through one- or no-party (military) political systems, inward-oriented development policies, and/ or state-led-and often state-owned-industrialization. In the second period, most countries adopted institutions that diluted the overarching political and economic power of ruling elites through the adoption of de jure multiparty electoral systems, more outward-oriented trade policies, and the privatization of many state owned or controlled sectors, though significant political and economic power remains in their hands. The choices made in each period were consistent with prevailing ideas on governance and development, the self-interests of political elites, and the perceived availability of support or autonomy vis-à-vis domestic, regional, and international sources of power at the time.
