Energy Innovation Across the Globe
Energy Innovation Across the Globe
Description
We are living in a time of energy innovation: growing need for energy supply, energy (in)security, changing markets, climate change and other driving forces increase the need for new technological solutions. The resulting advances affect patterns of wealth, trade, power, and politics worldwide. These processes have an important international dimension and cannot be understood without taking international affairs into consideration. In this course, we take this international perspective as a starting point to examine different cases of energy innovation around the world.
