The Permanent Energy Crisis: Oil, Depletion and War

with Michael Klare

Are scarce resources — diamonds, gold, copper, timber, arable land, and water — the root of most contemporary conflicts? Is petroleum more likely than other resources to provoke major crises and wars in the years ahead? Will we clash with China and India and other rising powers over access to major oil regions? These and other issues will be discussed in the context of our future energy policies.

Michael Klare is director of the Five College Program in Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College in Amherst, MA. Defense analyst for The Nation, he is also author of Resource Wars: The New Landscape of Global Conflict; Rogue States and Nuclear Outlaws: America’s Search for a New Foreign Policy; and Low Intensity Warfare. He is an authority on the causes and consequences of war and U.S. military policy. Professor Klare graduated from Columbia University and received his Ph.D. in political science at the Union Institute. His latest book, Blood and Oil: The Dangers and Consequences of America’s Growing Dependency on Imported Petroleum will be available for purchase and signing at the program.
