Handbook on the geographies of energy

I just received my copy of this new book, in which I co-wrote a chapter - Energy, water and food: towards a critical nexus approach - with Haley Leck (KCL) and Daniel Fitzpatrick (Aston University). The book addresses the changing geographies and landscapes of energy production, distribution and use. The books is published by Edward Elgar, and you can find out more here.

In our chapter, Energy, water and food: towards a critical nexus approach, Hayley, Daniel and I address the ways in which geographers have engaged with and critiqued the nexus concept. As many will know, the nexus approach takes its lead from the observation that energy-water-food issues are interlinked, so solutions and actions need to account for all three at once. In particular, we discuss the ways in which the integrative nature of the nexus approach and geographical approaches are well-suited, but also the ways in which nexus approaches run the risk of depoliticising climate change and associated resource issues. 

You can read a pre-published version of the chapter here.
