Shiraz Maher is the first KAS Energy Security Fellow at EUCERS and has spent his research year at King’s in 2012/13. During his fellowship, Shiraz has written the study “The Arab Spring and its Impact on Supply and Production in Global Markets”.
The Middle East is among the most important regions in the world for the supply and production of energy resources. Indeed, the Arab world holds 49.6% of the world’s proven oil reserves and 29.1% of its natural gas. The Arab Spring has distorted an already muddled picture, dramatically recasting the contours of an ordinarily fissiparous region.
