The energy future of the Black Sea-Caspian Region. Nina Dyulgerova
THE ENERGY FUTURE OF THE BLACK SEA –CASPIAN REGION
Prof. Nina Dyulgerova, Doctor Habil. of Economics
The first decade of the 21st century has laid out the new challenges and configurations which in turn set the new geopolitical outlines of the emerging new world. The parameters of social polarization, based on force and ideology, which dominated the 19th and 20th century, have been left behind. The world is once again characterized by confrontation, which, however, constantly shifts both in characters and direction – from global terrorism through civilizational choices to energy dependence. And unless the first two elements of confrontation are eliminated, the third element - energy options and choices determining current and future changes in global and regional space - could not possibly be ignored. The fact that the world will, from now on, follow different rules, is inevitable. These rules will determine international stratification not as much on the basis of the traditional parameters of by-gone centuries, but on the basis of the vision and actions of old (of the bipolar world)/ new (Eurasian tigers) players in the energy field, with its expanding options for dynamic dislocation.
