First of all, congratulations on this excellent experience! I am sure it has been a tense, yet thrilling few years.
What I find most interesting, and I commend Mr. Dan Ryan and his colleague, Logan, is the comparative analysis of oil and its tendency to create conflict internally and externally around the globe. There is quite a bit of literature on this topic already, but I look forward to seeing what comes out of this study. More so, looking to hear about policy proposals that would prevent or lessen conflict and human rights violations in resource-rich states.
