Class Notes:
TOPIC: Geopolitics & Governance of the Energy Transition This module addresses the interplay between global politics and the energy transition. Climate change, environmental degradation, and resource scarcity necessitate a shift to more sustainable forms of energy. The geographic and technical changes such a transition implies will reshape industrial opportunities, trade relationships, and political dependencies. At the same time, global politics shapes the speed and direction of such transitions. Great power rivalry influences who trades with whom and what agreements can be reached and enforced. A smooth energy transition hence rests on understanding this complex interplay and finding ways for policy makers to balance national and collective interests. This course therefore delves deeper into academic insights on the geopolitics of the energy transition and has students apply them to past, present, and future energy systems. http://classinfo.umn.edu/?schol477+PA5790+Spring2024
