IR 477 Political Economy of Natural Resources
|
|
This course introduces students to the importance of natural resources in the international political economy. It explores: how previously marginal actors on the energy scene, such as China, India, Russia, Turkey and their Caucasian and Central Asian neighbors, have become more central; the extent to which European Union energy requirements are driving this shift; how this shift is reshaping multinational business strategies; how ethnic conflict and terrorism are posing salient risks to major hydrocarbon supplies and supply lines; and the degree to which the need to preserve environmental integrity will ultimately limit fossil-fuel consumption.
