Influential Article Review - The Securitization of Energy Entrepreneurship During Megacity Counterinsurgencies from A Nato Viewpoint

Abstract

This paper examines economics and governance. We present insights from a highly influential paper. Here are the highlights from this paper: The rapid urbanization around the world has generated a tremendous interest in the study of megacity insurgencies. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new field of study—of expeditionary energy economics (e3)—that addresses energy management in the military expeditionary environment (EMMEE), particularly through the promotion of (global/local) entrepreneurship. This study argues that successful megacity counterinsurgency (COIN) campaigns of the twenty-first century will depend on fast solutions to critical energy infrastructure (CEI) vulnerabilities within individual communities. The implementation of e3 requires that COIN practitioners have a basic understanding of community-based entrepreneurship (CBE), high-risk/high-impact innovation (HRH2I), and the CEI that these individual communities rely upon. Empirical evidence is also discussed to support a proposed e3 definition. For our overseas readers, we then present the insights from this paper in Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German.
