Abstract
In the April-May 2008 issue of Survival (vol. 50, no. 2, pp. 37-66), Nader Elhefnawy argued that oil production is approaching its peak, with consequences that are likely to be dramatic. There will be increased risk of state failure and resource conflict; the economic balance of power among major industrial states will shift according to their relative abilities to adapt to a scarcity of fossil fuels; and oil producers will enjoy greater political power. Survival invited two experts on strategic energy issues, Amy Myers Jaffe and Michael T. Klare, to comment on Elhefnawy's essay, and Elhefnawy to respond.
