The new map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations

This summary presents "The New Map: Energy, Climate, and the Clash of Nations" by Daniel Yergin, which analyzes how profound shifts in energy markets and international relations are redrawing the geopolitical map of the world.

The book shows that climate change and the rise of renewable energies, along with the US shale revolution, have changed the global balance of power, transforming the US from an importer to the largest producer. It also focuses on the role of energy as a weapon in Russia's strategy and China's increasing reliance on energy to secure its maritime influence through the South China Sea and the Belt and Road project, emphasizing that future competition is about "peak demand" for energy, not just availability.

The research is published in the journal Dialogue of Thought in the double issue 81-82 published in September 2025
