The Resource Security Institute (RSI) is a non-profit organization devoted to improving understanding about global energy security, particularly as it relates to Eurasia. We do this through collaborating on the publication of electronic newsletters, articles, books and public presentations.
RSI was founded in October 2009 and began operations at the beginning of 2010. It is a young organization with a lot of energy!
