From the EGF Head of Research
Global VS. Regional Geopolitics & Geoeconomics: Can the 21st century world order still be managed at global level or is it to be split into regional subsystems, designed either by political, technological and ideological criteria or by the outcomes of economic and proxy-wars?
From the EGF Head of Research
The global energy crisis has made the point that climate change policies have major geopolitical consequences. From this perspective, the green energy transition should be driven, inter alia, by the changing balance of power of classical fuels (oil, gas, nuclear) suppliers/users and climate activists. The ensuing geopolitical lesson learned is that as green energy is technologically far away from ensuring the energy sufficiency of global economy, some sort of market sharing agreement with the other energy suppliers is inevitable.
