About
Itay Fischhendler of Hebrew University in Jerusalem will discuss research on energy security and how different actors manipulate the term through the mobilization of existential language during a seminar at Duke University April 2. In a talk titled "In the Name of Energy Security: the Struggle over the Exportation of Israeli Natural Gas," he will present that the concept of energy security is open for manipulation and various interpretations. While some actors stress environmental acceptability and independency as pillars of energy security, others prioritized supply reliability and geopolitical benefits associated with gas exportation.
This talk is part of the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions and the University Program in Environmental Policy seminar series featuring leading experts discussing a variety of pressing environmentally focused topics.
