How Governments Will Transform Energy Markets

In the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the world appears to be at an inflection point. Business leaders have declared the acceleration of deglobalization and sounded the alarm about a new period of stagflation. Academics have decried the return of conquest and hailed the renewal of transatlantic ties.

The world no longer was bipolar with the US and the Soviet Union competing for leadership. Instead, it has been a unipolar world under US hegemonic leadership.

”Definiția democrației pornește de la ideea că puterea aparțină poporului. Nu e clar însă cărui popor. Unii consideră că puterea trebuie să aparțină poporului din tara respectivă. Greșit.
