Mochida and Ohira write that world primary energy consumption reached 9.74 billion tons in crude oil equivalent in 2003, with oil and natural gas accounting for 61 percent.

Hudson analyzes the changing geography of the production system in three industries (automobile, clothing and steel) as a product of the strategies and tactics of companies, states (at EU, national and regional levels) and trades unions, as they seek to shape geographies of production to favor their interests within this changing European political-economic space.
