About the Transatlantic Academy
The Transatlantic Academy was created in 2007 as a partnership between the German Marshall
Fund of the United States (GMF) and the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius. The Robert
Bosch Stiftung and the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation joined as full part ners beginning in
2008, and the Fritz Thyssen Foundation joined as a full partner in 2011. The Compagnia di San
Paolo joined in providing additional support in May 2009, as did the Joachim Herz Stiftung and the
Volkswagen Stifung in 2011. In addition, the Academy received startup funding from the Trans-
atlantic Program of the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany through funds of the
European Recovery Program (ERP) of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

The Geostrategic Implications of the Competition for Natural Resources 5
For close to five
centuries, during
which globally
connected states
and markets
have developed,
demand for,
access to, and
trade in natural
resources have a
been dominated
by the Western
powers.

In energy terms,
as in so many
other respects,
this is not going
to be a world in
which Western
leadership will
shape the energy
marketplace as it
did in the British
19th century and
the American
20th century.

The combination
of new trends in
the resources
scene with these
long-standing
features will
produce strategic
shifts of varying
amplitude.

If Americas
hemispheric
energy re-
centering may n
upset the strateg
relationship

United States an
its allies, it alrea
has a powerful
effect on Russia

energy supplier.

In most cases,
however, strategic
frameworks
will tend either
to be broader
than the Atlantic
partnership or of
an ad hoc nature.

From a
transatlantic
standpoint, Russ
and the Persian
Gulf are the two
regions in which
the United States
and Europe
will continue to
have cause to
cooperate on
the strategic
dimensions of
energy, albeit
with very differen
institutional
solutions.
