Among the topics we will consider are the historical role of resource competition in world affairs, the political economy of resource extraction, and the geography of global resource distribution. We will also examine the role of resource exploitation in the financing of civil wars, such as those now under way in Angola, Congo, and Sierra Leone. A wide range of distinguished scholars and analysts will be invited to address these topics. We also plan to use these events to develop new syllabi and curriculum materials in the peace and security field. Register right away with our Online Registration Form .
