Dr. Gregory Brew will discuss his new book, which explores the oil history of Iran, the role of oil in U.S.-Iranian relations during the Cold War, and the connection between the global development movement and the creation of the Iranian “petro-state.” Through an exploration of these themes, Brew will draw connections between the energy crises of the Cold War era and the current problems facing the global energy economy.
