Rentier States – Overcoming the Dutch Disease With Giacomo Luciani
Giacomo Luciani is a leading expert on the geopolitics of energy. Mr. Luciani is primarily known for his seminal contributions to the theory of the rentier state and is currently an adjunct professor at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva.
Key questions:
- Currently, rentier states are more likely to be fossil fuel rich suppliers that are not industrialised. Do you agree with this assertion?
- What strategies could rentier states implement to make them more economically competitive?
- How is the transition to clean energy progressing and is limiting the rise to 1.5 C by 2050 still achievable?
