Abstract:

The geopolitical landscape in energy management is a complex interplay of resource control, security, and global cooperation. Energy resources like oil, natural gas, and renewables are critical in shaping political alliances, economic strategies, and conflicts. Disparities in resource distribution create competition for control, driving geopolitical tensions and influencing global trade. Additionally, infrastructure such as pipelines, ports, and grids become strategic assets, vulnerable to disruptions and geopolitical manipulation. Energy security remains central, with nations diversifying sources and routes to mitigate risks. The transition to renewable energy introduces new geopolitical dimensions as countries vie for leadership in clean energy technology and sustainability efforts. Balancing environmental concerns, economic priorities, and energy access further complicates global, regional, and local management. Technological innovations, such as renewable energy systems and smart grids, provide solutions but face financial and infrastructural challenges. Effective governance frameworks and stakeholder engagement are vital for ensuring equitable energy distribution, fostering cooperation, and promoting sustainability. This study highlights the interconnected nature of geopolitics, energy security, and environmental management, providing insights into overcoming challenges for a resilient and sustainable energy future.
