SCOTONOMICS: Ep 84 Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil

This is likely to be one of our most popular episodes this year as we spend time with British political expert Timothy Mitchell.

Timothy is the author of one of William’s …books of the year, Carbon Democracy: Political Power in the Age of Oil.

There is a huge amount of the book that is relevant to Scotland as we start to leave a fossil fuel economy behind us. It is hugely enlightening as Tim traces the role of energy and democracy and how it has shaped Scotland, the UK and the rest of the world.

Timothy Mitchell is William B. Ransford Professor of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies

Timothy Mitchell is a political theorist and historian. His areas of research include – the place of colonialism in the making of modernity
– the material and technical politics of the Middle East, and the role of economics and other forms of expert knowledge in the government of collective life.

Much of his current work is concerned with ways of thinking about politics that allow material and technical things more weight than they are given in conventional political theory.[+] Show More
