Environment, Oil and Energy – an Overview or a Peculiarly German Perspective on Power, Money and the Black Gold?

The JCER is an open-access journal published by the University Association for Contemporary European Studies (UACES) in association with the UACES Student Forum.

The JCER invites submissions from scholars who are experts in any subject area delivering analysis that relates to Europe. This includes, but is not limited to, Politics/International Relations, Area Studies, European Integration, Economics, Law, History, Culture and Learning & Teaching. The journal publishes the work of established academics alongside that of PhD students and early career researchers.Abstract:

Three books are reviewed, each centred around the topics of environment, oil and energy and published by the German government-funded Bundeszentrale für Politische Bildung (BPB), The Federal Centre for Political Education. The BPB’s remit has for a long time been to publish books and articles on pertinent topics which would not necessarily find a commercial publisher. In this case, however, the three books are very topical in dealing with major and popular issues of our time.
