The rise of new powers such as China and India is sending shockwaves through the global multilateral system. This volume systematically examines how 13 multilateral institutions are responding to this shift, with some deploying innovative outreach and reform activities, while others are paralyzed by gridlock or even retreat from the global scene.

This Handbook is the first volume to analyse the International Political Economy, the who-gets-what-when-and-how, of global energy.

Fourteen international scholars combine insights from international relations, geopolitics, energy security, renewable energy systems, economics, and energy policy to investigate how renewables change energy geopolitics.
