A Symposium on Oil, Innovation, and National Security A Symposium on Oil, Innovation, and October 17, 2008 / 1:00-4:00PM National Security Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Held on the Occasion of the 35th 1779 Massachusetts Ave, NW Anniversary of the Arab Oil Embargo Washington, DC = The Arab Oil embargo of 1973 left an indelible impression on policy-makers, pundits, and citizens of countries around the world. In the United States, collective recollections of long gas lines serve as a backdrop for unending calls to reduce imports of oil from the Middle East. The brief surge of the price of oil to $140/bbl rekindled old fears, and renewed calls by leaders of both parties to achieve "energy independence." This symposium brings together some of the most thoughtful contributors to energy policy debates to reconsider both what actually happened during the Arab oil embargo, and what it means for energy policy today. Journalists, policy- makers, scholars and students are urged to join panelists in what promises to be an assertive exercise in challenging reasoning by force of habit--clearing the analytic underbrush to make room for the energy policies in a new administration.

Rutgers University, 1982 Thesis Advisor – Craig Daigle, PhD Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts of the City College of the City University of New York Thesis Research B9900 December 10, 2019 1 2 The series of regime changes in Kabul that resulted in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December of 1979 is a story of poor intelligence, false narratives, and missed opportunities to avoid conflict for both the Soviet Union and the United States. When a small faction of Afghan communists overthrew the government of Mohammed Daoud Khan and replaced him with Nur Muhammad Taraki on April 30, 1978, the United States and the Soviet Union embarked on a path of mutual suspicion and lack of trust that led to an American involvement in Afghanistan that is ongoing – forty years later. As the architect of the American response from its very beginning, Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor, bears responsibility for much of what happened.
