The Iran Shock
And the Dangerous Allure of Energy Autarky
Book •
In 'The Iran Shock — And the Dangerous Allure of Energy Autarky,' Jason Bordoff and Meghan O’Sullivan examine how major disruptions to oil supplies prompt nations to pursue self-sufficiency in energy, often at great economic cost.
The authors trace historical responses to energy crises and argue that policies favoring autarky can undermine global cooperation and slow the clean-energy transition.
They assess how strategic stockpiles, domestic production, and industrial policy interact with geopolitical competition, especially among major powers.
Drawing on policy analysis and geopolitical insight, the book highlights trade-offs between short-term security measures and long-term economic and environmental goals.
The work serves as a cautionary examination of how crises can reshape energy strategy and international alignments.
