In this 1st episode of the new 6th season of Planet A, Dan Jørgensen talks to Helen Thompson, Professor of Political Economy at Cambridge University, about the geopolitics of fossil fuels and how the green energy transition affects the world order.

Thompson´s current research concentrates on the political economy of energy and the democratic, economic, and geopolitical disruptions of the twenty-first century.

She is also well known for co-hosting the highly acclaimed podcast Talking Politics.

Her most recent book Disorder – Hard Times in the 21st Century was published on year ago - on the 24th of February 2022 – the same day Russia invaded Ukraine.

The book which weaves together energy and geopolitics in a historic perspective couldn’t have had a more timely launch.

Thompson’s book has received glowing reviews and was shortlisted by the Financial Times for Best Business Book of the year 2022.

The book portrays an increasing instability of the global political system today and the ramifications of the current attempt to transition to clean energy worldwide.
