Description: Energy has long been a major factor in the formulation of national security, foreign policy and domestic economic strategies as well as a driving force in the exercise of national power and general international discourse. Oil is frequently linked to war, civil and ethnic conflict, terrorism, poverty, corruption and social injustice. As national energy security concerns and pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensify, large energy consuming countries like the United States are struggling to improve their national energy policy in the broader context of international relations and domestic economic policy. This course will look in depth at how energy security challenges have evolved over the years an consider the elements to creating a successful national energy strategic that is comprehensive and takes into account the role of alternative energy, diplomatic initiatives, transparency policy, and social change.
