Fueling Resistance examines conflicts over development projects in "energy frontiers"--places in the world far from sites of economic and political power that are seen as potential suppliers of new energy commodities. Neville looks at biofuels in Kenya and fracking in the Canadian Yukon and shows how organizers connect specific energy projects to broader issues of globalization, climate, food, water, and justice. Taken together, the intersecting elements of the political economy of energy (finance, ownership, and trade relations) shape the contentious politics of biofuels and fracking at both local and global scales, and help explain how and why particular mechanisms of contention emerge at different times and places.
