Join us Saturday, SEPTEMBER 27 for a pre-election forum with Michael T. Klare, Five College Professor of Peace and World Security Studies at Hampshire College and defense correspondent for The Nation Magazine. Klare is author of the new book, "Rising Powers, Shrinking Planet: The New Geopolitics of Energy.
Oil hit $100 and barrel earlier in January of this year and spiked to $142 a barrel within months. But unlike the oil shocks of the 1970s, this dizzying leap is not the product of an OPEC embargo or a sudden flare-up in the Middle East. Rather, it is a harbinger of a permanent new structure of world power, one in which market forces and military strength matter far less than the scarcity of vital natural resources.
Klare, a pre-eminent expert on resource geopolitics, forecasts a future of surprising new alliances and explosive danger. World leaders are now facing the stark recognition that all materials crucial for the functioning of modern industrial societies are being depleted at an accelerating rate. The only survival, Klare says, lies in international cooperation.
