GIS Dossier: The shale gas revolution

Picture of an LNG bunker ship, currently the world’s largest with the cargo capacity of 7,500 cubic meters of gas

08.05.2019

Early in this century, the U.S. unexpectedly moved from being a major natural gas importer to a significant exporter and changed its energy consumption to a more environment-friendly mix. It all happened due to its development of shale gas production. The world’s two other major gas markets – Europe and Asia – have experienced significant adjustments as well.

Mozambique: gas riches, terrorist threats

12.07.2018

22.03.2018

Some call Siberia Russia's blessing, others its curse. But this vast region’s real buried riches can be found in its political culture. The Siberian values of individual freedom and political autonomy have so far not been overcome by Russia's statist centralism. Once the country's current policies run their course, this essential Russian region could replace them with its own unique democratic principles.

South Korean Coast Guard chases Chinese fishermen violating territorial waters

19.12.2017

About 90 percent of global ocean fishing stocks are fully exploited or overfished. Competition to exploit this declining resource has led to geopolitical conflicts and social ills such as piracy and pollution, while regulation and subsidies only exacerbate the problem. Economics offers some institutional solutions that give the fishing industry incentives to manage stocks for the long term.
