The Geopolitics of Global Energy

• Exploring international competition, rivalry and conflict

In recent years questions surrounding energy security have become the focus of international security and global politics. Are we in the West over-dependent on sources of energy from unstable geopolitical regions? What are the consequences of competition amongst states to secure access to and control of energy resources? How do high energy prices affect economic development and political stability within states?

This workshop brings together a number of international specialists on energy security and geopolitics in order to shed further light on contemporary resource competition and rivalry, especially - though not exclusively - between the West and its Eurasian contenders. In particular the workshop will compare and contrast the strategies and policies of states in Europe, the Americas, East Asia and Africa, as both producers and consumers of energy.

Thursday 28 and Friday 29 May, Clore Management Centre..
