Evolving energy-based U.S. national interests in Africa or the Middle East may shape the degree to which the U.S. military becomes involved in political or humanitarian crises in those regions. Tightening energy supplies may alter fundamentally the way in which the United States wields military force in a contingency operation. And closer to home, increasingly vulnerable domestic energy infrastructure may undermine military installation operations and security.  The chapters in this edited volume are based on the presentations of those North American and European experts in the areas of policymaking, think tanks, academia, private sector, and military services, that participated in the organized conference, “New Realities: Energy Security in the 2010s and Implications for the U.S. Military.”  held in 2013.
 
This book would be appropriate for U.S. policymakers, military personnel, especially military leaders, U.S. diplomats, and think tanks that may lobby for energy resources,  energy company producers and exporters, and national security professionals. Students and political scientists that need research materials on the history and growth markets for the U.S. and foreign energy sector may be interested in this book content too.
