Stories to Understand Past, Present, and Future of Mining

Edition Politik

Erstmals seit den Ölpreisschocks der 1970er-Jahre erreichte der Ölpreis während der US-amerikanischen Immobilienkrise 2008 mit 147 US-Dollar pro Barrel ein neues Rekordhoch. Die Benzinpreise von durchschnittlich vier US-Dollar pro Gallone belasteten vor allem Hypothekarschuldner in ländlichen Regionen. In der Folge nahmen die Zahlungsverzüge in diesen Gebieten zu. Saira Ahmed macht anhand des finanzialisierten Ölpreisanstiegs die spekulative Nutzung von Öl durch institutionelle Investoren sichtbar. Sie zeigt, dass die politikwissenschaftliche Finanzialisierungsforschung von einem interdisziplinären Dialog zwischen ökonomischen Ansätzen und wirtschaftsrechtlichen Teilbereichen in historischer Perspektive profitieren kann.

Öl am Finanzmarkt

A vital history of oil and politics, showing how the struggle to control energy corridors and chokepoints shaped the modern worldFor the last twenty years, Putin's Russia has weaponised its vast resources of oil and gas, trying to use them to dominate Ukraine and, later, with growing audacity, challenge NATO itself. But this is far from the first time this tactic has been used. Over the last 150 years, access to oil and gas has repeatedly been used as a tool to gain an advantage.Looking at the global picture-including Vietnam, India, and Egypt-Guy Laron charts the connection between oil, gas, and political power from the First World War through the Cold War to the crises of today. He shows how political actors leveraged their power through key chokepoints: production sites, pipelines, and even refineries. Whilst at the same time, companies lobbied states to block rivals and eliminate competition. This has been a high-stakes game over the controlling heights of the world economy that continues until this very day.

The Land Knows Me

This book offers an authentic depiction of the lives led by expatriate individuals who dedicate the majority of their professional lives to working in countries other than their own. For many, this means building careers and facing unique challenges far from the place of their birth. According to the Association of Americans Resident Overseas (AARO), at least 5.4 million Americans were living abroad in 2023, a figure that does not include U.S. military personnel. Among these expatriates, thousands of Americans are employed in the gas and oil industries, much like the author of this book. However, the landscape was quite different in 1978. It was rare for someone from the Ozarks to embark on a journey abroad as an expatriate working in the gas and oil industry. The decision to leave home and country for such a career was unusual for an Ozarks native at that time.In many ways, the purpose of this book is deeply personal. It serves as an appeal for understanding and forgiveness from my family for my absence during times when they likely needed me most. I am especially mindful of the hardship this caused for my wife, Christina. This stands as my greatest regret in life. Ultimately, this book is dedicated to my family.

Life as an Expat

The true, inspiring story of the new parents who spearheaded an unlikely climate victory. From the rising climate advocate named to the Time100 Next list, for political junkies and anyone who cares about the environment. They were perhaps an unlikely trio: the professor Leah Stokes, the policy wonk Sonia Aggarwal in the White House, and the DC insider Adrian Deveny in the Senate, but together, they crafted the boldest climate legislation of our time. In The Carbon Wave, Stokes chronicles the turbulent path of their climate bill as it veered between breakthrough and collapse—from the hopeful beginnings of the Green New Deal in 2018, to the bill’s near-certain defeat by Senator Joe Manchin in the winter of 2021, to the surprise passage of the landmark legislation in August 2022. During this critical time, the author was pregnant or in the NICU with her premature twins, and Aggarwal and Deveny were new parents too. Interlacing personal narratives with stories from Congress, the White House, and outside activists, Stokes shows how dogged perseverance and collective action can still bend the course of history. The book concludes with an update from the second Trump administration, explaining the parts of the bill that were—and were not—rolled back, and why we should remain hopeful that progress is still being made. Everyone has been told to shrink their carbon footprint and lighten their load on our planet by changing their behavior. But what if instead of making ourselves smaller, we joined with others to maximize our impact? That’s the carbon wave. And this book shows us how to make it.

A major new history of Saudi Arabia, from its eighteenth-century origins to the present day &nbsp; Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest countries in the world, a major player on the international stage and the site of Islam’s two holiest cities. It is also one of the world’s only absolute monarchies. How did Saudi Arabia get to where it is today? &nbsp; In this comprehensive account, David Commins narrates the full history of Saudi Arabia from oasis emirate to present-day attempts to leap to a post-petroleum economy. Moving through the ages, Commins traces how the Saud dynasty’s reliance on sectarianism, foreign expertise, and petroleum to stabilize power has unintentionally spawned secular and religious movements seeking accountability and justice. He incorporates the experiences of activists, women, religious minorities, Bedouin, and expatriate workers as the country transformed from subsistence agrarian life to urban consumer society. &nbsp; This is a perceptive portrait of Saudi Arabia’s complex and evolving story—and a country that is all too easily misunderstood.

The inside story of one of the most successful U.S. foreign aid programs in the Middle East in recent decades “This book offers a proven, bipartisan model for how the United States can foster a more peaceful and prosperous world.”—Hillary Rodham Clinton, Former US Secretary of State What happens when the United States launches an unconventional foreign aid program in the aftermath of a national uprising? In this behind-the-scenes account of the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund—a private investment fund created by the U.S. Congress to jumpstart Egypt’s private sector after the 2011 Egyptian revolution—A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;tells the story of one of the most effective, yet little known, U.S. foreign policy programs today in the Middle East. Through the firsthand account of the Fund’s chairman James Harmon, a veteran investment banker and former Clinton administration official, the authors reveal how a small, U.S.-backed investment fund partnered with Egyptians to spark investment, create jobs, and expand opportunities for women in the Arab world’s largest country—all against a backdrop of political instability, anti-Americanism, and Washington dysfunction. At a time when America’s budget deficit is rising and foreign aid is being scaled back,&nbsp;A Daring Enterprise&nbsp;reveals how a new model of foreign assistance can tackle urgent development challenges while delivering real returns for U.S. taxpayers. Most importantly, it is a powerful reminder of the value of foreign aid and why smart foreign investment is key to America’s future prosperity.

A critical history of the US dollar's dominance in the world economy--and what has kept China's currency from overtaking it. The dollar is the primary currency of the world economy. With China now rivaling the United States on the world stage, a critical question hangs in the balance: will the Chinese renminbi challenge the status of the dollar and, in doing so, deprive America of its "exorbitant privilege"? In GreenbackEmpire, Ho-fung Hung offers a powerful account of why, even as American shares of global production, ownership, and trade continue to decline, its currency has retained the support of governments and investors around the world. For six decades, Hung shows, the dominance of the dollar has rested on the security umbrella that the US offers to the world's wealthiest countries--including oil producers. To these countries, support for the value of the dollar is tantamount to maintaining US protection. While China has become a serious geopolitical and economic rival to the US, the Chinese state's airtight control of its financial system has delayed the free trading of the renminbi, limiting the currency's internationalization. In short, the same strategy that engineered growth in China's economy is restraining its currency's rise in opposition to the dollar. Hung's Greenback Empire is an essential history of the dollar's prowess, indispensable for understanding the future of the global monetary system.
