Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - When a canal is blocked, a pipeline sabotaged or a power interconnector tripped, distant societies feel the shock. From the Suez crisis to gas disputes in Eastern Europe and tensions in key straits, episodes of disruption have revealed how thoroughly modern politics is wired into routes for oil, gas and electricity. Flashpoints and Pipelines argues that to understand today's world, we must look not only at who owns resources, but at who shapes and secures the corridors they travel through.Spanning continents and decades, the book explains how pipelines, shipping lanes, and high-voltage lines reorder alliances and bargaining power. It shows how pipeline diplomacy can bind former adversaries or drive new wedges between partners; how transit-state leverage emerges, peaks, and erodes; and how efforts to harden chokepoints can sometimes create fresh vulnerabilities. Case studies of gas politics in Europe, maritime chokepoints in the Middle East and Asia, and China's continental corridors sit alongside analysis of electricity grids, sanctions, cyber risks and the emerging infrastructure of low-carbon systems. Throughout, Ardales links institutional design and contractual detail to broader questions of energy security and regional order.Written for students of international relations, practitioners in energy and security fields, and general readers who want to move beyond slogans, the book offers a clear framework for assessing routes as geopolitical instruments. Readers come away able to map the interests clustered around any corridor, identify points of infrastructure vulnerability, and ask sharper questions whenever a new terminal, pipeline or interconnector is proposed. In a world where energy transitions will multiply both links and fault lines, Flashpoints and Pipelines equips us to see how tomorrow's alliances may be laid out not just on treaties and communiques, but on steel, concrete and cable.…
