Foreign Actors’ Influence on Azerbaijan’s Energy Policy
The author traces several energy policy decisions taken between 2006 and 2013 in Azerbaijan to find out how international actors tried to influence policy-making. The book facilitates understanding of the political mechanisms, threats and opportunities that characterize activities in Azerbaijan’s energy sector illustrating strategic pitfalls and chances. Based on a detailed country analysis and the in depth comparison of four policy cases, the book deduces the political elite’s rationale, and its practical consequences for transnational relations. It is relevant for scholars studying the political economy of rentier states and regimes in the authoritarian realm, as well as for young strategists in organizations that conduct business in countries dominated by tight informal networks.

Understanding the Global Energy Crisis
We are facing a global energy crisis caused by world population growth, an escalating increase in demand, and continued dependence on fossil-based fuels for generation. It is widely accepted that increases in greenhouse gas concentration levels, if not reversed, will result in major changes to world climate with consequential effects on our society and economy. This is just the kind of intractable problem that Purdue University's Global Policy Research Institute seeks to address in the Purdue Studies in Public Policy series by promoting the engagement between policy makers and experts in fields such as engineering and technology. Major steps forward in the development and use of technology a...
Pipeline Politics and Natural Gas Supply from Azerbaijan to Europe
Sevinj Amirova-Mammadova explores pipeline dynamics and natural gas supply within the southern gas corridor and provides an analysis of how policy interests and decisions of the state actors affect the current energy politics in the Caspian region. The research period covers the second stage of the Caspian energy development determined by the production and export of natural gas to the European markets. The focal point of the policy analysis lies on the competition among the different pipeline projects, namely NABUCCO, ITGI, TAP, SEEP, and the decision‐making process of the export route selection. Energy interests of Turkey, Russia, and Azerbaijan elaborated in the research explain how and why certain decisions have been made by these major regional actors.
Innovationsmanagement in der Energiewirtschaft
Alexander Khan entwickelt ein Reifegradmodell für das Innovationsmanagement, das Unternehmen hilft, auf wechselnde Wettbewerbsbedingungen zu reagieren. Der Autor zeigt, wie das Modell es ermöglicht, die Innovationsfähigkeit eines Unternehmens zu messen und Handlungsempfehlungen abzuleiten. Dadurch hilft es beim Aufbau organisationaler und strategischer Routinen, die es einem Unternehmen erlauben, interne und externe Ressourcen zu erwerben, zu integrieren, zu verändern und abzustoßen, um auf Marktveränderungen in geeigneter Weise zu reagieren oder diese zu induzieren.
Elektromobil durch die Zukunft
Die Entwicklung eines eigenständigen Marktes für Elektrofahrzeuge kommt nur schleppend voran. Entscheidend für die Entwicklung der Elektromobilität sind auch Dienstleistungen, die die Kundenakzeptanz für eine neue Mobilitätskultur steigern und die Schwellenängste gegenüber Elektrofahrzeugen reduzieren. Im Kern müssen zur Entwicklung einer neuen Elektro-Mobilitätskultur nicht allein technische, sondern auch neue soziale Dienstleistungen als eine Brücke zur Nutzung von Elektromobilität entwickelt werden. Dabei kommt dem Kunden im Rahmen einer kollaborativen Form bei der Entwicklung eine Schlüsselrolle zu. Das Buch Elektromobil durch die Zukunft gibt hierfür die Erkenntnisse des F...
Comprendre le caractère national des États du monde
Le but de l'ouvrage est de comprendre le « caractère national » de chaque État, c'est-à-dire la personnalité de chaque pays, fondée sur des idées partagées et véhiculées par les élites politiques, idées reposant sur la philosophie nationale, les mythes et légendes, les traditions, la culture et l'Histoire. Caractère national veut également dire « psyché », personnalité et âme d'un pays. Le caractère national de chaque pays repose sur un fondement idéologique, un ensemble de principes philosophiques clés, guidant l'action et définissant l'agenda international de chaque pays, un ensemble de questions, problématiques et controverses, auxquels les États concentrent leurs ressources, leur attention et leurs énergies.

Climate Technology, Gender, and Justice
This book is the first to undertake a gendered analysis of geoengineering and alternative energy sources. Are either of these technologies sufficiently attendant to gender issues? Do they incorporate feminist values as articulated by the renowned social philosopher Helen Longino, such as empirical adequacy, novelty, heterogeneity, complexity and applicability to human needs? The overarching argument in this book contends that, while mitigation strategies like solar and wind energy go much further to meet feminist objectives and virtues, geoengineering is not consistent with the values of justice as articulated in Longino's feminist approach to science. This book provides a novel, feminist argument in support of pursuing alternative energy in the place of geoengineering. It provides an invaluable contribution for academics and students working in the areas of gender, science and climate change as well as policy makers interested in innovative ways of taking up climate change mitigation and gender.
