Description
The Geopolitics of Energy Project Fellowship, hosted by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the John F. Kennedy School of Government (Harvard Kennedy School), is designed to advance research exploring the complex relationships between international politics, security, and energy. Fellows are expected to produce policy-relevant research addressing how political dynamics and energy issues interact globally, with particular attention to emerging policy challenges and opportunities.
Research topics include the influence of energy markets and policies on international security, the geopolitical effects of energy transitions and resource distribution, and strategic policy questions related to global shifts in energy supply and demand. The fellowship is overseen by Professor Meghan O'Sullivan. Fellows are integrated into the Belfer Center's collaborative research community and are encouraged to engage with both academic and policy audiences.
