Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This chapter constitutes an explorative conceptual contribution which explores geopolitics, geoeconomics and energy security in an age of transition towards renewables. First, we briefly investigate how geopolitical schools of thought in Geopolitics and International Relations as academic fields each reflect(ed) a specific geopolitical Zeitgeist. ‘Geopolitics’ takes centre-stage in this analysis, and a more neutral definition is formulated as the basis for a geopolitical framework for analysis. Second, we investigate the (scholarly evolution of the) concepts of both ‘energy geopolitics’ and ‘energy security’. Third, we highlight the literature of ‘geoeconomics’, its various related components, and their unique selling proposition or added value in a geopolitical analysis of energy transition. Finally, we reflect upon energy geopolitics, geoeconomics, and energy security in a renewable energy world. To what degree do these concepts help us to understand the current energy transition and what conceptual or theoretical hurdles lie beyond the academic horizon? |
