The Center for a New American Security is hosting a public event on how lower oil prices have reshaped geopolitical calculations for U.S. policymakers on Thursday, 26 April, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The event will coincide 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.

Elizabeth Rosenberg (Senior Fellow and DIrector, Economics, and Security Program, Center for a New American Security) will moderate a panel featuring Edward C. Chow (Senior Fellow, Energy and National Security Program, Center for Strategic and International Studies), Dr. David Gordon (Adjunct Senior Fellow Energy, Economics, and Security Program, Center for a New American Security), Dr. Meghan O'Sullivan (Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs, Harvard Kennedy School), and Divya Reddy (Practice Head, Global Energy & Natural Resources, Eurasia Group).

This panel will include 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.
