Research on the role of states and markets in the hydrocarbon sector is highly topical in contemporary International Political Economy.
In some areas, this is a result of new hydrocarbon discoveries, in others it relates to factors like unsatisfactory progress in energy markets or pollution and other negative externalities.

This edited collection will approach the same question but from a broader perspective, investigating its very essence and how this varies on a regional basis.
