This book is about oil and gas pipelines across North America. Specifically, it is about how they succeed or fail politically; politics being the central issue. Mainly, it is concerned with actors like states and groups, contention and conflict and also with the actors that ensure or carry out acts of legitimacy or fail to do so and similarly actors that carry out key tasks or fail to do so. The action of states, groups, those involved with contention, as well as legitimacy and competence are in several important respects quite integrated. However, there are acts of de-legitimation and incompetence that are widespread in our pipeline cases and go a long way to explaining why pipelines are so difficult to complete. That and a dozen other features make the story of oil and gas pipelines in North America intriguing accounts for observers to take in.
