Description
Dismantling Green Colonialism is a thought-provoking book which empowers its readers to think about the problems in systematic, transformative ways, as noted by Fadhel Kaboub, President of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity.
The Arab region is a focus of world politics, characterised by authoritarian regimes, significant fossil fuel reserves, and histories of colonialism and imperialism. It is also the site of potentially immense green energy resources.
The writers in this collection explore a region ripe for energy transition but held back by resource-grabbing and (neo)colonial agendas. They demonstrate the importance of fighting for a just energy transition and climate justice by exposing policies and practices that protect global and local political elites, multinational corporations, and military regimes.
Covering a wide range of countries from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia to Egypt, Sudan, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Palestine, this book challenges Eurocentrism. It highlights instead a class-conscious approach to climate justice that is necessary for our survival.
