Geopolitics of Energy Initiative

The Geopolitics of Energy Initiative is animated by an assessment that preserving and enhancing the stability of global energy markets over the next quarter century will be not only an economic and environmental challenge, but will also be the most significant long-term strategic challenge facing the United States during this period. Substantively, the work of the Initiative starts from the premise that ongoing structural shifts in global energy markets have important political and economic implications that are not adequately understood or discussed in the ongoing debate over American foreign policy.

The New America Foundation is dedicated to understanding these implications and, in turn, to developing analytic frameworks for thinking about energy security as a foreign policy issue.
