UNIVERSITY OF BUCKINGHAM CENTRE FOR EXTRACTIVE ENERGY STUDIES

Abstract

The University of Buckingham Centre for Extractive Energy Studies (UBCEES) offers a uniquely holistic approach to the study of extractive energy. This ranges from issues of good governance and accountability, combating corruption and asset recovery, on to the legal, fiscal and competition issues relating to the actual process of the extraction and carriage of energy resources and its environmental and social impact. It also explores contemporary issues relating to the exploitation and extraction of offshore energy from the sea, fracking, community and labour rights in the global extractive energy sector, including indigenous community participation in the decision-making process of the ownership and the sustainable management of energy resources.
