This 10-week online course will cover the characteristics and challenges of energy transition. It will examine the political economy of transition, focusing on major changes that transfer to green and renewable energy will bring the global economy, politics, and geopolitics.Â
The energy transition that is driven by climate change is likely to bring fundamental transformation challenging the political and economic status quo across geographic areas. This course builds knowledge and provides critical tools for analyzing these changes and their effects on development, governance, and stability. To examine the effect of energy transition, we will cover various case studies demonstrating major common and specific trends in politics and economy caused by the decline of fossil fuels and the development of renewables.Â
Learning objectives:
--Understand the basics of the political economy of energy resources and rentier states, economic approaches for achieving energy transition
--Make assessments energy markets and their functions, classification of energy sources and energy transition
--Analyze the global policy of energy transition, key aspects of Paris agreement, UN Climate Change conferences (COP28/29) and global methane pledge
--Identify the economic, social, and political implications of energy transition
--Critically analyze the influence of various kinds of resources (fossil fuels, renewables) on geopolitics, democracy building, stability, and sustainable development
--Think strategically about energy transition and energy security
