What Role for OPEC in the last Generation of Oil?

This chapter  in the Handbook of OPEC and the Global Energy Order examines the past, present and possible futures of OPEC's engagement with the issue of climate change. 


The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2020, is one of the most recognizable acronyms in international politics. The organization has undergone decades of changing importance, from political irrelevance to the spotlight of world attention and back; and from economic boom for its members to deep political and financial crisis.


This handbook, with chapters provided by scholars and analysts from different backgrounds and specializations, discusses and analyzes the history and development of OPEC, its global importance, and the role it has played, and still plays, in the global energy market.
