Rawi Abdelal Talk at MIT, Thursday. Nov 29th

by Davis Center

"The Profits of Power: Energy Relations Between Russia and Europe" Rawi Abdelal, Harvard Business School When: Thursday November 29, 4:30 p.m. Where: MIT, Building 56, room 114 http://whereis.mit.edu/?q=56&zoom=16&lat=42.36292654541742&lng=-71.08986749… Abstract: Although the energy trade is the single most important element of nearly all European countries' relations with Russia, Europe has been divided by both worldview and practice. Why, in the face of the common challenge of dependence on imported Russian gas, have national reactions to such vulnerability varied so dramatically across the continent? And why have a handful of French, German, and Italian corporations somehow taken responsibility for formulating the energy strategy-and thus the Russia policy-for essentially all of Europe? This talk is cosponsored by MIT-Russia, SkolTech Initiative, and MIT Energy (MITEI)
