Recenzje

'This important book is among the first to link the geopolitics of energy firmly back to local policy dynamics. It reveals how critical national policy is in determining whether society accepts - or rejects - fracking technology. A highly-recommended read for anyone interested in European energy security, and the prospects of shale to eventually 'go global'.' Meghan O'Sullivan, Harvard Kennedy School, Massachusetts
