The Seminar on World Oil&Gas Affairs is designed to monitor and analyze oil&gas-related information on a weekly basis. The aim of the course is to provide the students with sufficiently vast horizontal knowledge of the latest developments occurring worldwide in the fields of oil&gas politics, international relations, security, and business. In order to develop a more thorough, vertical knowledge on some specific topics and the related dynamics, students are also strongly encouraged to dedicate at least part of their research on

  1. One world region or country (e.g. the Baltic States, China, Central Asia, etc.);
  2. One set of issues or problems, related or unrelated to the chosen geographic  area (e.g. LNG markets in East Asia; Shale Gas Sector in Poland and/or Ukraine; OPEC affairs; Gazprom’s activities; specific EU policy-making in progress; etc.)

Students are required to cream off the most relevant articles and pieces of information published worldwide (i.e. specialized newspapers articles, think tank policy papers and briefings, international organizations’ bulletins, etc.). Following an analysis of the articles at home, they will present their questions and findings, thus opening the floor for classroom discussion.

In the second semester students are encouraged to move on to a more active phase and write a brief, specialized article on a self-chosen topic, which may be published on the ENERPO Journal and other EUSP platforms.
