CENTER ON GLOBAL ENERGY POLICY SERIES
Jason Bordof, series editor
Making smart energy policy choices requires approaching energy as a complex
and multifaceted system in which decision makers must balance economic,
security, and environmental priorities. Too ofen, the public debate is dominated
by platitudes and polarization. Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy
Policy at SIPA seeks to enrich the quality of energy dialogue and policy by pro-
viding an independent and nonpartisan platform for timely analysis and recom-
mendations to address today’s most pressing energy challenges. Te Center on
Global Energy Policy Series extends that mission by ofering readers accessible,
policy- relevant books that have as their foundation the academic rigor of one of
the world’s great research universities.
