OIES Geopolitics of Energy Seminar Series

Oxford Institute for Energy Studies & St Antony’s College

The Geopolitics of Energy seminars run in Hilary and Trinity terms of each academic year.

A rapidly changing global energy scene, dominated by volatile oil and gas prices, the emergence of powerful new consumers in the Asia-Pacific region, reserve depletion within the OECD and the instability in the energy producing regions, caused by domestic, regional and international political actions, have contributed to the instability of energy markets. This seminar series, run in association with St. Antony’s College, Oxford, will focus on the role played by geopolitics in the energy sector.

Geopolitics refers to the way geography, politics, and economics influence international relations, individual countries, their foreign policies, as well as their economic and political security.

Most of the lectures in this seminar will be given by high-level guest speakers with special expertise and experience in the energy field. TO FIND OUT MORE

Waitrose to takeover Headington’s Somerfield Store

By May 4,000 new Partners to join Waitrose as co-owners Co-Op/Somerfield acquisition and organic growth boosts portfolio by 22 branches Waitrose has announced an acquisition and ambitious growth programme that will result in 4,000 new employees joining the John Lewis Partnership as co-owners. The retailer has entered into a conditional agreement* with The Co-operative Group to purchase 13 stores arising out of the Group’s acquisition of Somerfield. Waitrose will also open at least nine new branches through organic growth in 2009. The 22 confirmed shops will take the Waitrose estate to 220 stores in the UK, offering customers over 200,000ft² of additional selling space, an increase of over 5% to its existing portfolio. Waitrose aims to target over two million new customers with the stores. The shop’s locations will consolidate the supermarket’s position in its heartland areas and increase its presence in regions where Waitrose is currently under represented.¹ Today’s 13 store acquisition from The Co-operative Group is one of the largest in the supermarket’s history. It includes a fifth shop in Wales as well as its second stores in Tyne and Wear, Lincolnshire and Warwickshire. It will also increase its presence in the South West with two new shops in Devon.
