Description

Huge energy resources in Siberia, Central Asia, the Caspian Basin, and other regions of Eurasia will shape world politics, security and international relations well into the 21st century. Eurasian energy politics is the big issue in global affairs. Cooperation and conflicts over ownership, control, transportation and consumption of energy create multiple challenges for policy makers and analysts. The new MA in Energy Politics in Eurasia (ENERPO) is designed to meet these challenges.

The program (Master in Energy Politics in Eurasia (ENERPO)) covers key energy projects in Eurasia as well as major contentious issues in the development of the energy sphere as seen from the Russian perspective. The curriculum is designed so as to combine the perspectives of political science, anthropology, security studies, political economy with first-hand expertise of the energy sector. ENERPO will provide skills that are highly needed in public policy making, policy analysis, business, political consultancy, and public affairs. The uniqueness of the ENERPO program rests on a combination of in-class training by leading Russian and international experts, master classes by representatives of the energy business community, and company visits.

The duration of the MA is three semesters: two semesters in Russia for training plus one research and writing semester, for a total of 12 months.
