Jeffrey Colgan
Assistant Professor
School of International Service
- Professor Jeff Colgan is interested in the geopolitics of oil, the resource curse, international security, and international political economy. In his new (2013) book, Petro-Aggression: When Oil Causes War he presents a new theory of why oil is linked to international conflict: petrostates with revolutionary governments have a much higher propensity to instigate militarized conflict than other types of states. He has articles published or forthcoming in journals such as International Organization, World Politics, International Security, and Foreign Policy. Previously, Professor Colgan worked as a consultant for McKinsey and Company, the Brattle Group, and the World Bank.
