Promoting International Energy Security. Volume 1: Understanding Potential Air Force Roles

Abstract

The dramatic rise in oil prices in 2008 increased attention on the sources of imported oil, the workings of the world oil market, and the potential problems of meeting future demand for liquid fuels. This technical report is the first in a four-volume series examining U.S. Air Force roles in promoting international energy security. In this first volume, we examine the world oil market, energy security issues associated with petroleum, and how energy market and security considerations relate to Air Force operational planning. The other three volumes present exploratory studies that examine potential opportunities where the Air Force can promote energy security through bilateral and multilateral partnerships.
