Geopolitical Strategies for Renewable Energy Access, Development, and Growth offers a thorough and unified structure for understanding and navigating the interconnections between renewable energy technology, energy planning, energy security, climate change mitigation, economic development, environmental sustainability, and global geopolitical dynamics. The book aims to address potential obstacles and to explore the advantages for those involved in advancing or implementing the shift towards renewable energy sources. This is supported by extensive case studies from across the globe, emphasizing effective approaches and obstacles encountered in the shift towards renewable energy. The book also analyzes present-day patterns, potential obstacles, and promising opportunities to present seven scenarios that could build a coherent geopolitical trajectory towards worldwide availability of renewable energy technology. The scenarios include political economics, resource curse, dependency scenario, modernization scenario, environmental Kuznets curve, innovation diffusion scenario, and institutional framework scenario. This is a valuable resource for all those looking to understand the geopolitical complexities of energy transition and the possible inter-disciplinary ways forward to advance renewable energy, including advanced students, researchers, faculty, engineers, R&D, industry professionals, and policy makers.
