Understanding the Interplay Between Energy Resources and Geopolitical Power in Global Strategy

Abstract

The relationship between energy resources and geopolitical power has been central to global strategic decision-making throughout history. This paper examines how energy resources shape international relations and the strategic interests of nations. By analyzing case studies and key geopolitical events, it highlights the importance of energy in influencing power structures, regional alliances, and conflicts. The research emphasizes the role of energy as a critical factor in national security, economic stability, and foreign policy. Understanding this interplay is essential for policymakers to navigate the complex landscape of global strategy in an era of resource scarcity and climate change.
