THE TENTH ANNIVERSARY of the France-Russia dialogue
on the key problems of today in the context of the Club de Nice
was marked by the publication of a fundamental work authored
by scholars of Russia and France "Energy and Geopolitics." The
volume in Russian and French has been authored by 34 scholars.
They are highly skilled experts in diverse branches of the power
industry holding various academic ranks (from Vice President of
the Russian Academy of Sciences [RAN] N.R Laverov and former
executive director of the IEA Claude Mandil to leading analysts
of sectoral research institutes).
All contributors to the book have their own and very authoritative
views of the problems of development of global energy industry
and the role of the geopolitical factor.
At the same time, thanks to the editors of the book (RAN Academicians V.V. Kostyuk and A.A.
Makarov), the entries submitted by individual contributors do not look like a compilation of
separate statements looking at separate problems but rather as an integral and monolithic fun-
damental work reflecting all questions of the power industry and geopolitics. The book is in-
tended not solely for scholars but also for politicians, media and business people, members of
public organizations and government agencies.
The material in the book is arranged so that not only the interconnection between the state and
problems of the world's power industry and geopolitics in the past and the present is described;
in addition, the new challenges of globalization and regionalization around the world, new de-
velopment trends and the Energy Strategy of Russia and the European
This wide range of problems, trends and advances in the power industry makes this book an
encyclopedia of the global energy industry.
The book is unique in that all problems of the global energy industry are examined through the
prism of its public perception and in terms of geopolitics.
The future is no one-track railroad with a fixed route and timetable. It offers new opportunities
and new solutions with geopolitics shaping a desirable future and power engineering. It is there-
fore quite logical that the last chapter in this book, "A new energy civilization: problem of the
21st century," discusses scenarios of transition to the future ensuring sustainable development
of the global "nature-society-man" system.
