GMA 310 - The Geopolitics of Energy

Class Hours: 3, Units: 3
General Education: Area D Social Science - upper division
Prerequisite(s): GMA 100  
Oil has been the most important natural resource of the twentieth century. Its price and availability determine the macroeconomic health and stability of economies; access to it determines the foreign policies of many nations; and nations have been willing to go to war to secure its guaranteed access.  This course explores the history of oil exploration, the policies that have informed national and international attention to energy procurement (or acquisition), and the geopolitics that have accompanied the development of the world’s oil industry.
