Employing a wide-angle lens, Colgan reconceptualizes international order, unabashedly paving a novel framework for power dynamics and systems change. Colgan's analysis provides important insights not only for understanding oil politics, but also for interpreting how efforts to address emerging developments like climate change and the escalating US-China rivalry could influence international affairs.
