Acknowledgments

THIS WORK HAS TAKEN THE EFFORTS of so many people, some of whom deserve particular mention. The support of the University of Louisville Department of Political Science was instrumental in providing the necessary support, particularly during my trip to Africa to study the extent of biofuels on that continent. Special thanks go to the late Laurie Rhodebeck, who passed away in fall 2017, who made an enormous contribution to this work as director of the Graduate Program providing me with highly skilled graduate research assistants. Also, my thanks go to Professors Chuck Ziegler, Roger Payne, and Dewey Clayton for their years of encouragement and support. In addition, Isabelle Christensen was very helpful in editing some of the chapters.

My special thanks go to Dr. Michael Yates of Monthly Review Press for his faith in the project and to Erin Clermont for her clear and helpful editing.

Finally, huge thanks go to my wife, Tamara. Without her diligent and persistent participation, this work could not have been done.
