Washington, DC
The Center for a New American Security hosted a public event on how lower oil prices have reshaped geopolitical calculations for U.S. policymakers, from opening new opportunities for collaboration in Asia to creating challenges and instability in traditional oil-producing nations.
The panel included a discussion of: (1) Russia's response to lower oil prices and the challenges this presents to the United States; (2) the prospects for continued U.S. engagement in the Middle East given decreasing concerns about energy scarcity; (3) opportunities for U.S. collaboration with Asian partners given decreased competition over energy resources; and (4) the geopolitical ramifications of lower fossil fuel prices for renewable energy resources.
The event coincided with the release of the new CNAS report "U.S. Geopolitical Challenges and Opportunities in the Era of Lower Oil Prices" by Dr. David Gordon, Divya Reddy, Elizabeth Rosenberg, Neil Bhatiya, and Edoardo Saravalle.
