Energy Markets & Governance

Energy markets are in flux as new energy production and delivery methods alter global supply chains, while economic growth and new desires for energy efficiency change demand in different parts of the world. Policy makers will need to be able to interpret these shifts in the energy market and build new frameworks to manage energy uncertainty.

From this perspective, Nord Stream 2 is flawed Ostpolitik.
