Over the next few decades, favorable economics for low carbon energy sources combined with stagnant oil demand growth will facilitate a shift away from today’s fossil fuel-based energy system. Will the countries of the Middle East and North Africa be losers or leaders in this energy transition? Will state–society relations undergo a change as a result? It suggests that ultimately, politics more so than economics or environmental pressure will determine the speed, scope, and effects of low carbon energy uptake in the region. This book is of interest to academics working in the fields of International Relations, International Political Economy, Comparative Political Economy, Energy Economics, and International Business. Consultants, practitioners, policy-makers, and risk analysts will also find the insights helpful.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobin Mills \u003c\/b\u003eis CEO of Qamar Energy and Fellow at the Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy and author of two books, \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of the Oil Crisis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCapturing Carbon.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLi-Chen Sim\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor at Khalifa University of Science and Technology in the United Arab Emirates.
