emerges here and there, the book is basically an institutional history of governmental energy policies (most primary sources stem from Government or Parliament). Intellectual debates are relegated mostly to the background. There are exceptions to this rule, such as the intriguing description of the ‘Akins vs. Adelman controversy’ about how to deal with price increases (pp. 139–44), or references to political/cultural clashes between German SPD heavyweights Brandt, Schmidt and Eppler. The author has to be commended for the wealth of information and detail and for providing researchers with a key instrument to understand the energy crisis of the 1970s. While some international energy negotiations (such as those within the CIEC) and intellectual critiques of growth had little practical outcomes, the environmental issues that emerged in the 1970s never disappeared from public debate, international institutions such as the IEA, the EC and OPEC remained protagonists of global energy governance, and energy policy, even though less focused on state intervention and more on market regulation, remain to this day one of the pillars of national policy-making.

到处出现，这本书基本上是政府能源政策的制度历史（大多数主要来源来自政府或议会）。知识分子的辩论大多退居幕后。这条规则也有例外，例如关于如何应对价格上涨的“Akins 与 Adelman 争议”的有趣描述（第 139-44 页），或提及德国社民党重量级人物 Brandt、Schmidt 之间的政治/文化冲突和埃普勒。作者提供了丰富的信息和细节，并为研究人员提供了了解 1970 年代能源危机的关键工具，因此值得称赞。虽然一些国际能源谈判（例如 CIEC 内部的谈判）和对增长的智力批评几乎没有实际结果，
