Energy politics / Brenda Shaffer. - Philadelphia PA, USA: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2009 - 187 p.

Energy, it is argued, is a legitimate tool of diplomacy although it is also often perceived as a weapon. This book shows how energy and politics are inextricably linked; it looks at energy in terms of regime types, in relation to routing of pipelines, conflict, security, and climate change, considers oil, gas, coal, and nuclear energy. The second part of the book considers energy in various parts of the world: Russia, Europe, China, USA, Iran, Saudi Arabia.
