Research
The following summarises the current and planned areas of research and study by staff of the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. The Institute’s unique multidisciplinary expertise allows it to examine the economics, the politics and the sociology of energy with a focus on oil and natural gas. Its research spans the international relations between producers and consumers of energy; the economic development of producing nations and the geo-political aspects of all these issues alongside the economics and politics of the environment in relation to energy, including climate change.
The specific subjects of current research, while set within these broad lines, necessarily reflects the particular research capacities, skills and interests of the research fellows.
