New publication by Dr. Jason Abbott, Professor of Political Science and International Relations at Montclair State University: “The Paradox of Oil Security: Why Every War Becomes an Oil Crisis, and How to Escape It”

It explores the relationship between war, energy infrastructure, supply chains, global markets, and political instability, while also considering how renewable energy and electrification may reduce future exposure to oil shocks.

What A War Game Already Told Us About Iran
Jason Abbott, Political Science professor, has published a new analysis in Just Security examining Iran’s asymmetric response to the current US military campaign. Abbott argues that Iran’s tactics (including swarm attacks, proxy escalation, and Strait of Hormuz pressure) were predicted in detail by a 2002 US military war game. The Pentagon ignored the lessons then. It is paying for that now.
The piece, titled “What A War Game Already Told Us About Iran,” appears in Just Security, a leading forum on law, rights, and security policy based at NYU School of Law. Abbott is a professor in the Department of Political Science and Law and a regular commentator on Asian Politics and International Affairs.
