"Global Energy Governance in a Multipolar World investigates the relationship between the emergence of a multipolar world order and the enormous challenges with regard to global energy governance the world is facing in the 21st century. Multipolarity means that a number of important states have significantly more economic and political clout than others, but among them there is hardly any hierarchy. Multipolarity will inevitably mark and determine the 21st-century global governance architecture." "The new energy challenge, with its intricate socio-economic, ecological and international-political dimensions, is a multidimensional, multi-level and multi-actor issue that requires a minimum of "central" political steering, because neither the invisible hand of the market, nor unilateral or bilateral power politics are capable of bringing about sustainable solutions. This book reflects on more fundamental questions such as how the main consuming countries can avoid conflict over scarce resources, and how they will cooperate to bring about open energy markets, energy conservation and efficiency, and massively promote renewables."--Jacket
