Graduate Program in International Studies Theses & Dissertations
The risk of an oil supply disruption still exists. Oil reserves are increasingly concentrated in a handful of unreliable regimes, plagued by piracy and terrorism.

By that time Europe will be importing 90% of its oil. Thus, oil supply security will become an increasingly important feature of European politics.
One way to counter the noxious consequences of an oil disruption is to cooperate. International cooperation is a critical factor in any type of crisis, …

The argument being forwarded here is that variations within US nonproliferation policy have been the greatest influence on the attainment of US …
