Douglas Yates Publishes Chapter in Edited Volume on World Capitals of the Energy Sector

Thursday, 10 April 2014

douglas_yates2011_100x120.jpgProfessor Yates published a chapter on the environmental history of "Port Gentil: From Forestry Capital to Energy Capital," in Energy Capitals: Local Impact, Global Influence (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2014), an edited volume by Joseph A. Pratt, Martin V. Melosi and Kathleen A. Brosnan. This work came out of a conference at the University of Houston in 2010, which was funded with the support of the National Science Foundation to promote research energy history and its intersection with urban and environmental history. The cities in this volume represent important energy capitals in the fossil fuel era. Studying the evolution of energy capital reveals similarities and differences useful in understanding historical patterns of energy-led development where it takes place. This study of energy capitals contributes a long-term perspective to current debates about the best ways to capture the benefits while managing the costs of such energy development.

quote leftIn addition to the many benefits of studying international relations in a highly specialized program, located in a dynamic city that fosters learning the discipline, my overall experience at AGS has been enhanced by an outstanding administrative staff that is diligent, professional and, above all, friendly. Their tireless efforts are key in making the experience of AGS students positive. I have done my best to thank them with good French desserts and bad American humor!quote right
