Anotace - angličtina
Poslední úprava: Mgr. Karel Svoboda, Ph.D. (13.02.2020)
In his "The Quest", Daniel Yergin analyses the complexity of the world of energy resources. Plainly said, what happens in one part of the world may impact developments in the other parts. This "butterfly effect" has its unquestionable consequences also for separate regions, including the post-Soviet. The course, therefore, concentrates on the developments in this part of the world.
The aim of the course is to explore the problems of oil and gas extraction and trading in the area of the Post-Soviet space in its broadness and various perspectives, political, economic and also technical. We will try to seek systemic explanations, critically evaluate short and long term trends. What is the impact of new technologies on the post-Soviet space? Why it is so hard to predict future developments even if we possess advanced analytical tools? What is the role of Russian energy companies? Is China a game-changer? What is the role of the European Union?
The choice of the readings will be subjected to the changing nature of the energy sphere. Although the papers are placed in the SIS, they might change with the changing situation. Therefore, please, be careful to check the valid paper for each of the classes. I will try to keep the readings up to date as possible. Students should not expect that they will become energy specialists.
After finishing this course, students should be able to understand the developments in the oil and gas markets, the problems of negotiations, policy choices. In a broader sense, students should understand also the role of energy affairs in the political relations in the post-Soviet area.

Reading and discussion will be an essential part of our work. Students should be able to formulate their thoughts based on the reading. The papers will be placed in the SIS, some of them via links directly to the document.  

Each student should have an oral presentation (approx. 15 minutes long), on an agreed topic. The presentation should bring the author's view on a specific problem.  

UPDATE - Due to coronacrisis situation, the final exam will be placed in moodle. Questions will be based on readings, slides and class discussions - asking about explanations, understandings.
