Energy Security (JPM524)

Form: lecture / seminar

Room: 312 (Pekarska 16)

Lecturer: Jitka Holubcova, j_holubcova@yahoo.fr

Course Description:

Course aims at providing students with understanding of key paradigms of global energy security. Students will be confronted with energy security questions, such as interaction between traditional producers and transit routes on one hand and emerging producers and new energy markets on the other hand. Changes in national and regional energy mixes, rise of renewable energy sources and future of nuclear energy will be tackled, as well as ongoing turmoil in some regions as a factor for global energy security.  Students shall develop ability to assess the situation in particular regions based on provided facts. Where useful, students will be asked to solve a case study or to come forward with energy security scenarios.

Requirements to pass the course:

1.     Energy Security SWOT of your home country or a selected territory; .ppt (max.7slides), or .doc (max 4pages), 15% of final mark; Key aspects to be included:

    • 1 slide with SWOT grid
    • 1 slide - your assessment of the most pressing energy security issue – reasons to it and solutions you propose
    • 1 slide  - sources
    • Max. 4 slides covering energy security S-W-O-T (Please, do not create an exclusive list. You need to select 1-2 most pressing issues)
    • Form of delivery: posted in SIS/MS Teams for colleagues and sent via email to lecturer for assessment.
    • Feedback received from lecturer covers: pertinence – quality of personal assessment – AOB (quality of visuals, sources, time management). 70% threshold needed
