Center on Global Energy Policy Series

Jason Bordoff, 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 often, 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 providing an independent and nonpartisan platform for timely analysis and recommendations to address today’s most pressing energy challenges. The Center on Global Energy Policy Series extends that mission by offering readers accessible, policy-relevant books that have as their foundation the academic rigor of one of the world’s great research universities.
