Faculty member of our department Prof. Arzu Al have edited a book titled "Energy and Power in International Political Economy" in Liberty Academic Books.

Energy and Power in International Political Economy is a comprehensive edited volume that examines the complex relationship between energy and global politics. It demonstrates that energy is not merely a resource but a foundational axis shaping state power, influencing military strategies, driving technological innovation, and defining the trajectory of global inequalities. Bringing together leading scholars, the book explores energy politics through the lenses of geopolitics, ethics, economic transformation, and global governance. From military doctrines and the new rivalries of the energy transition, to oil geopolitics in the Gulf, Turkey’s emerging role, and the ethical dimensions of energy security, the chapters cover a wide spectrum of debates. The volume highlights how energy has evolved from a purely technical matter into a strategic arena of contestation, security, justice, and sustainability. It serves as an essential reference for researchers, students, and policymakers interested in the nexus between energy and international political economy.
