Fifty years after the 1973 oil embargo, Baker Institute Edward P. Djerejian Center for the Middle East and Center for Energy Studies hosted a conference to examine lessons learned from the embargo and their renewed relevance for today’s energy crises. Featuring remarks from His Royal Highness Prince Turki Al Faisal Al Saud, the conference also included expert panels with industry leaders, other former policymakers, and academics.

Emerging scholarship on economic and sustainable development in the Gulf is presented in this report, which is the result of a workshop in London organized by the Baker Institute and Chatham House. The work is part of a two-year project on "Building Pluralistic and Inclusive States Post-Arab Spring" funded by the Carnegie Corporation. 

This conference report summarizes findings from a lecture by Diego Rodriguez for the event "From the 'What?' to the 'How?' in the Water-Energy Nexus: Challenges, Opportunities and Lessons Learned."
