Event: Energy Security: Perceptions and Policy Choices

Speaker(s): Felix Chang, Associate Scholar, Foreign Policy Research Institute

Date: January 31, 2008

Length: 69 minutes

Description: Felix Chang, an associate scholar at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, discussed three differing perceptions of "energy security" that, according to him, are rooted in divergent world views and often lead to divergent policy priorities. Specifically, he emphasized power, economics and environment as three major motivations that usually stand behind countries’ aspirations to achieve energy security. Chang argued that in order to advance the national and global energy security agenda, policymakers, citizens and countries need to achieve basic consensus and find a way to reconcile the differences between these three policy motivations.
