“Dr. Mirtchev’s book addresses critical aspects of contemporary “security”; tracing how and when the traditional military-political sense of the term changed to include financial and ecological priorities. Mirtchev posits that for decades, if not centuries, energy issues have been a fundamental part of the security environment, and, as Dr. Kissinger mentioned, the book, “provides a sweeping exploration of the changing energy landscape outlining issues that will occupy scholars and policymakers for decades to come”.
