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.

GEOPOLITICS AND PRAGMATIC CAPITALISM


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?
