Oil, Power, and Geopolitics

Independently published

Sinclair R: Oil, Power, and Geopolitics

Energy Resources and the Politics of Global Conflict

With one famous equation, E=mc2, Einstein proved all matter can be described as energy. It is everywhere and everything. ‘There is no author whose books I look forward to more than Vaclav Smil.’ Bill Gates Turn on a light. Start the car. Boil water. Eat. Move. Breathe. Everything is energy. But what exactly is it? And how can we best harness it without destroying the planet in the process? Renowned scientist Vaclav Smil explores energy in all its facets – from the inner workings of the human body to the rise of modern industry and the race for more efficient and eco-friendly fuels. From the laws of thermodynamics to the latest developments in wind, solar and geothermal power, Energy: A Short History sheds light on the invisible network of energy that shapes all our lives, and how our daily decisions affect energy consumption.

A Short History

Energy

Deep beneath fracking’s endless headlines—some good, some bad—lies a business fraught with risk and resilience, greed and grace…and unrelenting madness. The missteps, the abysmal timing, the pitiful, stumbling overreach, none were recent developments. All were part of an early onset failure, all wired into my DNA from the start. The symptom that was my fledgling frack company, but the cause, the reason, that was all me. I’ll make a hurried, overly zealous decision to do something, then just do it. I’ll assume that if I do, I’ll land on my feet. The bedrock of all my assumptions has always been Why shouldn’t I land on my feet? Why though? Why so damned cavalier? It is because I am an entrepreneur. I’m not necessarily proud of it, either, this inescapable disarrangement, irrepressible and agitating against authority, seeking difficulty over ease, naivety over season. It’s the same bullheadedness that marks all entrepreneurs; our cacophonous, messy catchall of a group which, by all reasonable standards, is a shit-poor group to belong to. “Of Roughnecks and Riches is a dramatic dive into an energy revolution that has upended the nation and the world…it’s a rollicking ride that makes for a compelling read.” –Gregory Zuckerman, Special Writer, the Wall Street Journal and bestselling author of The Frackers, among others.

Of Roughnecks & Riches

Two business systems. One practical bridge.If you are a Chinese founder or executive building in the United States, this book shows how American investors, employees, customers, and regulators evaluate trust.If you are an American leader working with Chinese companies, it explains why your counterparts build relationships, make decisions, communicate, and manage risk differently, and how to work together without misreading those differences.East to West: Beyond Guanxi maps the operating logic beneath recurring China-US business collisions. It turns differences in trust, communication, authority, capital, product design, attention, compliance, and crisis response into practical guidance for both directions.You will learn how to: <ul><li>build trust across relationship-first and institution-first systems</li><li>translate presentations, decisions, metrics, products, and channels</li><li>create authority and governance that remain credible under pressure</li><li>recognize when a cultural problem is actually structural</li></ul>Built from published research, public records, practitioner observation, and clearly labeled composite cases, this is a field guide for leaders responsible for making China-US business work in practice.

Routledge Studies in the Modern World Economy

The 1997 Asian Crisis and 9/11 were turning points for the world economy. The two events reminded the Western World of the dynamic impacts of globalisation and the increased uncertainty the world was facing. This book examines the threats to the world economy arising in the wake of the tragedy of 11th September 2001 and the preceding Asian financial crisis of 1997. The author makes the point that a distinctive '1990s-type' global capitalist system was the victim of these attacks, so that an appreciation of the peculiarities of this system is essential to an examination of the specific threats that it is likely to face in future and the policy measures necessary to deal with them. As an international relations specialist working for a Japanese trade organization both in Britain and Japan itself, the author has a somewhat uniquely privileged vantage point from which to observe, analyze and evaluate the future tendencies and dangers of the new global system. The book cuts across economics and politics and as such will be of use to a wide audience within both of these disciplines.

China is the world's biggest carbon emitter as well as the leading producer of green energy. What lies behind this fascinating contradiction? In recent years, China has built more renewable energy infrastructure than the rest of the world combined and is leading the global shift towards electrification. The Green Superpower: How China Shapes Our Future outlines China's role as a green leader in the upcoming Fourth Industrial Revolution and illustrates how European companies can become more competitive by learning from their Chinese counterparts. Experienced journalist and regional expert Christina Boutrup explores how China is leading the move away from fossil fuels, from how affordable Chinese solar panels are revolutionising the global energy landscape to the electrification of the world's largest car market and the revolutionary implications of autonomous AI technologies. Cautiously optimistic, the author covers key geopolitical trends affecting green economic progress across the world, and ultimately serves a wake-up call: to compete with China's success, Western business leaders need to learn from their Chinese counterparts and treat the green transition as a business case. The balance of global power is poised to shift. No longer copycat manufacturers of inferior products, Chinese firms are at the forefront of the world's potential first "electrostate". Now more than ever it is vital to acknowledge the central role that China plays in the transition to green energy and to learn from their strategies. The Green Superpower is essential reading for policymakers, business leaders, and practitioners who operate at the intersection of environmental policy, security, sustainability and innovation.
