Ghadan Risk Management recently released the Arabic version of the book "The Great Transformation.. Energy Geopolitics in the Middle East and North Africa," which provides an in-depth research study of the transformations taking place in the energy sector, and their economic, political and geopolitical repercussions on the countries of the region, in light of the rapid changes in global energy markets and the trends towards low-carbon energy sources.
Manfred Hafner, Pierre-Paolo Raimondi and Benedetta Bonometti are the authors of the original Springer Nature English-language book, published in 2023, as part of the "Prospects for Development in the Middle East and North Africa" series, which includes peer-reviewed scientific studies on political, economic and social developments in the region.
The Arabic version is released in the context of Ghadan Risk Management's interest in promoting specialized research content in the Arabic language, and providing references that contribute to understanding energy issues and their economic, political and strategic intersections.
In seven chapters, the book examines the reality of the energy sector in the Middle East and North Africa, ranging from economic and historical backgrounds and local and international motivations that govern the transformation paths, to a review of the development of energy sectors in the countries of the region, to an analysis of the geopolitics of oil and gas and the possible repercussions of the transformation in the global energy system.
It also provides a detailed reading of the conditions of energy-producing and energy-consuming countries, the challenges facing their economies dependent on oil and gas revenues, as well as a discussion of low-carbon energy strategies, renewable energy sources, the future role of the region in international energy markets, and the opportunities and challenges posed by new transformations for hydrocarbon exporting countries.
The book highlights the importance of linking the energy sector to geopolitical and economic transformations, and not treating it as a production or commercial file only; It discusses the impact of dependence on oil revenues on the structure of economies and public policies, the implications of changing global demand for oil and gas, as well as the impact of international competition and shifts in relations between major powers on the region's place in the global energy equation.
The publication is of particular importance to researchers, decision-makers and those interested in economic, energy and international relations files, as it provides a comparative approach to the conditions of the countries of the region, with a space to study the energy and geopolitical sectors of oil and gas in Iraq, Syria, the Levant, the Gulf and the Maghreb.
