ГЛОБАЛНИ АСПЕКТ ЕНЕРГЕТСКЕ БЕЗБЕДНОСТИ
A GLOBAL ASPECT OF ENERGETIC SAFETY

Summary/Abstract: Energy has been for a long time classified as the most significant instrument used to accomplish global geopolitical interests and goals. Energetic safety is one of the most significant factors for the development of the states in the contemporary world. Ensuring required energy supplies and continuity of supplies are some of the most fundamental requirements for their economic development. This is specifically important for those states which are highly dependent upon energy supplies, that is the countries which satisfy their need for naphta and gas, as the most significant energy sources, mainly by importing. Therefore, energy safety is the primary requirement for developmental prospects, as well as the significant global geopolitical issue. While striving to ensure their energetic safety, the states become emersed into a „Grand geopolitical chess game“ (Zbigniew Brzezinski). That is why a solution for the issue of energetic safety in an adequate geopolitical context is one of the priorities for all those states dependent on the energy imports. Economic development and the future of the world by and large depend on the way this issue is solved. The global geopolitical aspect of energy safety viewed in that framework is especially pronounced. Regions that are exceptionally rich in energy resources (especially gas and naphta) will represent the cause for global competition and conflicts.
