The energy transition is fundamentally transforming geopolitics, with renewable energy and other decarbonization options reshaping existing energy markets, trade flows, and energy security strategies. What new opportunities and challenges await us? Will it pacify global energy relations or bring a perilous transition?
This comprehensive Handbook discusses the geopolitical implications of the energy transition. The first part summarizes established insights and delivers suitable notions and analytical frameworks to investigate the phenomenon. Subsequent parts then provide a detailed and comparative overview of the geopolitics of the energy transition from different perspectives: expectations, technologies, and countries. Combined, the chapters provide a quintessential starting point for scholars and practitioners and prepare them for changes to come.
The Handbook on the Geopolitics of the Energy Transition is essential for students of politics, geography, environmental studies and international relations seeking to grasp the present circumstances of renewable energy geopolitics. It also benefits policy makers working in sectors such as energy and foreign policy.

Critical Acclaim
‘Daniel Scholten’s impressive edited volume has brought together a distinguished group of authors to consider how net zero policies will reshape geopolitics. The authors offer us theoretical and empirical insights into how a geopolitical world dominated by fossil fuels will be altered by serious climate policies. This is an important book for anyone who wants to understand the potential political consequences of the energy transition.’
– Michael Pollitt, University of Cambridge, UK
‘This Handbook is an important and original contribution to the geopolitics of energy at a critical juncture in global history. An international collection of researchers examines the longer-term implications of the rise of renewable energy and decline of fossil fuels from a wide array of lenses, addressing crucial questions on the energy system and its supply chain, energy security and energy justice in key global regions. This Handbook is an indispensable guide to this complex and necessary transformation.’
– Roger Fouquet, National University of Singapore
‘The world faces a climate emergency, and we find ourselves thrown into an energy security and affordability crisis. This volume provides an indispensable guide to the geopolitical challenges associated with transforming the global energy system. It brings together an impressive team of researchers from multiple disciplines from across the globe.’
– Michael Bradshaw, University of Warwick, UK
‘This impressive volume is the ideal starting point for anyone interested in the geopolitics of the energy transition. It brings together most of the top experts on this topic and covers every part of the globe, all renewable energy sources and both opportunities and challenges related to the energy transition.’
