The geopolitics of energy system transformation
In 2009, Geography Compass published a paper on ‘The Geopolitics of Global Energy Security’ that reviewed research on the key geographical factors influencing the secure and affordable supply of energy resources. Now, just over a decade later, the energy landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation, and the focus is no longer on fossil fuel scarcity. Rather, this is an age of fossil fuel abundance and the emphasis is on the need to decarboni…
Energy Security
With energy supplies being central to human wellbeing, secure and affordable supplies of energy are a key concern of the state. Traditional conceptions of energy security have focused on physical security of supply. This represents the dominant interests of the Western industrialized economy. However, the rise of new centers of demand is resulting in a more globalized and complex energy system. At the same time, the need to decarbonize the energy…
East Central Europe and the former Soviet Union
Global energy dilemmas
This paper examines the relationship between global energy security and climate change policy. There are growing concerns about the sustainability of the future supply of hydrocarbons. The energy system is the single largest source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, therefore it is no surprise that decarbonising the supply of energy services is a key element of climate change policy. The central proposition of this paper is that the world faces a…

The Geopolitics of Global Energy Security
This study examines the geopolitics of global energy security, defined as the influence of geographical factors, such as the distribution of centres of supply and demand, on state and non‐state actions to ensure adequate, affordable and reliable supplies of energy. The first part of this study describes the geographical dimensions of energy supply and demand and the recent global shift in the location of energy production and demand growth. This …

Optimirus. Simulating Population Change in the Russian Far East
Relocating resource peripheries to the core of economic geography's theorizing
Theorizing in economic geography has focused on core regions, industrial and non‐industrial, old and new. Indeed, contemplation of the idea of globalization has reinforced this quest. This paper disputes this blinkered thinking that peripheralizes resource peripheries, and seeks to re‐position and emphasize resource peripheries within economic geography's theoretical agenda, specifically that associated with the new ‘institutional’ approach. A tr…
The Russian Far East and Pacific Asia
The energy Crisis in the Russian far east
MORE THAN SEVENTY YEARS AGO the famous GOELRO plan proclaimed the need for the electrification of the whole country as a prerequisite for the victory of Soviet-type communism. It is an irony of history that the current market reforms in Russia go hand in hand with shortages of fuel and energy, with some remote cities becoming real ghost towns in the late evening hours. For miners in Vorkuta and the Kuzbass or ordinary citizens in Vladivostok and …
Going global
The transitional recession and now economic crisis in the Russian Far East have left the island of Sakhalin Oblast with little alternative but to hope that the international oil and gas companies will invest in offshore oil and gas projects. The historical background to these projects commences with the exploration of offshore acreage dating back to the aftermath of the energy crises in the mid‐1970s and their current state of development is face…

Public Policy in Appalachia
The public policy process is defined, and its importance as a factor in geographical change is evaluated, in the context of a study of the impact of US federal programmes in Appalachia, with special reference to the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965. The significance of each stage in the public policy process is analyzed, beginning with problem identification; proceeding through the threshold of political awareness to the generation of…
