Asia-Pacific Energy Cooperation

This course is an energy economics and politics course, not a general energy policy course. This course is also an area study course with focus on Asia-Pacific region. It will cover a variety of theoretical and empirical topics related to energy demand, energy supply, energy prices, environmental consequences of energy consumption and production, and various domestic energy policies and international energy cooperation cases.

As a compulsory course of the relatively new Double Masters Program in Asian & European Affairs, it will have an experimental character to it. The course is based on a dynamic reading list which covers classical articles, reports and books in the sphere of energy political and economic science. Students will be expected to learn multidisciplinary analytical approaches, and practice them on individual cases in Asia-Pacific region.
