Security of energy supply and geopolitics
International relations, risk analyses and energy
In order to understand the geopolitical context in which energy relations develop, CIEP is involved in the research of other institutions. In December 2004, a new project was initiated to apply risk analysis to important issues in international relations (failed states, terrorism, energy, to mention a few). This project is coordinated by Yale University Business School. CIEP was asked to supply this project with an energy risk study based on the risk chapter of the EU study.
In late 2004, CIEP and the Clingendael Centre for Strategic Studies (CCSS) developed a combined series of lectures on security issues and high oil prices. Based on this successful cooperation, both groups have decided to develop this area of study further under the heading Energy and Security.
