What is Geopolitics of Sustainable Energy?

GEOPOLITICS & CONFLICTS

WORKING HYPOTHESIS
Conflict is an inevitable human feature of all human beings. The unavoidable consequence of constant and aggressive competition of our survival instinct.

What is Geopolitics of Sustainable Energy?

Apart from the OPEC cartel, traditional suppliers like Russia is having problems rerouting its supply from Europe to Asia- notably China. However, in this new geopolitics of energy, the United States is facing challenges to redefine relations with the EU and Asia energy consumers like China, Korea and India. At present, the building of gas transport infrastructures worldwide has transformed the traditional markets. It seems that natural gas is truly on the verge of becoming a global commodity even in Africa.

What is Geopolitics of Energy and Sustainable Capitalism

What is Geopolitics of Energy and Sustainable Capitalism?

The United States is the world’s greatest producer of natural gas and is moving to expand its exports of liquefied natural gas as a multinational. America is fast becoming an energy superpower together with Russia ―an unexpected situation with far-reaching implications for geopolitics. However, today the US dominates the market and is transforming the geopolitics of gas. How is this affecting the exploration and production of gas in Africa?

What is Sustainable Capitalism

What is Sustainable Capitalism? (What is Pragmatic Capitalism?)

Sustainable Capitalism is a place where laypeople can discuss geopolitics and basic business practices to find answers for the problematic world of private-public-partnership businesses like the ones in developing countries. Ultimately, the goal of this page is to try to provide a resource and a forum for debate on geopolitics and sustainability.

What is Geopolitics and Pragmatic Capitalism?
How does a shifting demographic cycle affect geopolitics?
How does the growth of emerging markets affect geopolitics?
How does consumer behaviour of fossile fuels in develop countries affect geopolitics?
How does geopolitics affect multinationals and capitalism as a whole?

Geopolitics and Pragmatic Capitalism is an attempt to provide answers for the above questions. The goal is to help inform through geopolitical analysis dealing with the ongoing conflictive situations around the globe and how they impact social behaviour and geopolitics as a whole.

1GEOPOLITICS AND CASH ANALYSIS

WELCOME TO GEOPOLITICAL RESEARCH AND INTERNATIONAL
POLICY INITIATIVES

What is geopolitics and Cash analysis?
(CASH= CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF STRATEGIES AND HOSTILITIES)

This is based on the analysis of power and cash relations between governments. The analysis of political influences of power relationships in international relations. It is the study of the influence of such factors as geography, resources, economics, culture, language and demography on the foreign policy of any state.

So Geopolitics focuses on political and cash power in relation to geographic space.

Hector Lawrance Kuofie:  Is rapport the same as empathy in geopolitical environment?

Basically rapport is the ability to relate to others in a way that creates trust, understanding and it just makes any form of communication or negotiation easier. In geopolitical environment, successful interactions depend largely on our ability to establish and maintain rapport.
You are more likely to buy from, agree with, or support a nation or someone you can relate to than the ones you can’t.

Whereas empathy is the ability to see the other’s point of view and get them to understand yours. You don’t have to agree with their point of view or even like it.

What is the theory of justice of John Stuart Mill?

A just society will minimize social harms and maximize social benefits for its people. In his theory of utility he asserts that people often maintain many conflicting theories of justice and his principle of utility should be the deciding factor to avoid this.

What is Kenneth Waltz's Theory of International Politics?

In “The Theory of International Politics,” Kenneth Waltz discusses how to construct a good theory in the following way. if A then B with a probability of X outcome. Hence, laws establish relations between variables. Theories are collections of evidence-based laws about a particular behaviour or event. He also asserts that statistical data alone can't explain why things are related; so we need theories to accomplish that. Theories can be reductionist or systemic- at the state or international level. Waltz discusses how multipolarity and bipolarity affect states at the internal and external level. (USA-CHINA, USA-CANADA, USA-RUSSIA, USA-INDIA, USA-UK, USA-JAPAN...)

How far do you agree with this theory of international relations?

Theory of International Relations and Politics (IRP)

Africa: Governance and international relations.
Experts at The United Nations have recently reached a consensus that good governance is a critical prerequisite to sustain economic development in Africa. This body also argues that good governance depends largely on the availability of developed human resources and proper government institutions such as those implemented in places like Singapur and elsewhere. Africa is still plagued with ethnic conflicts and divisions. Hence, another prerequisite is the need to establish schools for conflict analysis, resolutions and arbritage for peace and development.


How far do you agree with these supposedly experts opinion about Africa's development?

GEOPOLITICS: What are the four pillars of Conservatism?


The first pillar of conservative values is freedom from oppression by your own government—and the protection of your own government against oppression from foreign states.

It is eveident that governments in most soverign states usually have great power and this ultimately leads to the abuse of power internally. What about external oppression from powerful international corporations? They often have as much power and influence as soverign governments- consider China, Russia and the petrol-dollar states and the power they currently have in geopolitics.

In Geopolitics, should foreign governments have a degree of rights to intervene in other countries to protect the CIVIL RIGHTS of the local people? Multinational corporations often do meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. How far do you agree with this?

Geopolitics: The Hope and Change policy of President Obama.

Some geopolitical experts argue that former US president Barack Obama will be remembered as the president who authorized the destruction of Libya. His drones caused the deaths of innocent people because of the “War on Terror.”  They further advocate the fact Obama’s famous Hope and Change ultimately amounted to nothing as the world became worst under his administration.




How far do you agree with this assessment of President Obama's legacy?

What are the psychological traits of conservatives?

There is new evidence from research work in political psychology leading to the conclusion that conservative people seek:  order and law, defends traditions and family values, certainty, consistency and familiarity, as well as depicting high reaction to danger, threat, and death anxiety. In other words, the conservative ideology is nourished on a strong military, tough law enforcement, resistance to immigration, widespread availability of guns.


How far do you agree with these trait elements? Are there any traits missing or that could be added?

What is geopolitics and Cats analysis?
What is geopolitics and CATS analysis?
What is geopolitics and CATS analysis?(CATS= critical analysis thinking strategies)

This is based on the analysis of international relations and analysis of strategies and hostilities. It is also the study of the influence of such factors as cashflow in international relations, fossile resources, economics, culture, language and demography. So Geopolitics here primarily focuses on political and cash-power in all sorts of international relationship.

One needs to be a fearless CAT in the geeopolitical arena to succeed.
