Economic and political incentives and pre-existing legal frameworks and regulatory processes all play crucial roles in determining what technologies and policies are chosen to address current and future energy and environmental challenges. PESD research examines issues including: 1) effective policies for addressing climate change, 2) the role of national oil companies in the world oil market, 3) the emerging global coal market, 4) the world natural gas market with a focus on the impact of unconventional sources, 5) business models for carbon capture and storage, 6) adaptation of wholesale electricity markets to support a low-carbon future, 7) global power sector reform, and 8) how modern energy services can be supplied sustainably to the world’s poorest regions.

  • African Political -Movements Jordan K
    AFRICAN POLITICAL -MOVEMENTS JORDAN K . NGUBANE ,rwO facts need to be remembered in any idiscussion of African political movements . The first is that this is a subject which receives little or no attention in South African history books . As a result, European opinion is very largely unaware of the attitudes which have been shaping in the African mind within the last fifty years. This is unfortunate because it leads to unilateral solutions which only complicate the race problem on the one side, while on the other it denies very many White South Africans acquaintance with developments which wield a decisive influence on the relations between Black and White . The second point is that the history of African . political move- ments is, in fact, a record of specific ideas moving in the direction of finding a workable solution to what is, in African eyes, the White problem . This process dates from the time when the African came in contact with the White man . For purposes of this article we shall confine ourselves to the most important movements which have arisen since Union . The most important political organisation in this period was the South African Native National . Congress, now the African National Congress (ANC), founded in 191 2 . An outline of the circumstances which produced it will shed light on, its ideals, its history and its impact on. both South Africa and the world . Enlightened Africans at the turn of the century believed that Union was desirable because the African, the Boer and the Briton would survive and prosper only if they abandoned the path of racial isolation and pooled their resources in a bigger, united community .
