Historic fluctuations in international energy prices and adjustments in energy relations have taken place in the past two years. The energy system has fallen into disorder and discomfort;volatility in the energy market has triggered a strong domino effect, and major countries have taken unprecedented measures to address it. These changes have pushed international energy politics to a new development track. In a certain period of time in the future, the political and security aspects of energy will once again come to the fore. The long-term nature and complexity of the energy transition have become more obvious. In international energy politics, turbulence and uncertainty will be the new normal. A new binary opposition may emerge in the international energy landscape as well, with constant changes taking place in the connotation and extension of energy security. Academic and strategic circles should think deeply about how to dialectically discuss the relation between energy transition and the major changes of a scale unseen in a century, energy transition and energy security, and geopolitics and energy politics, among others, and consider the integration of development and security and the realization of common energy security as important principles for operating and developing energy strategies and promoting global energy governance.展开更多

The choice of political and economic thoughts can amplify or inhibit such differentiation and impact. Over the past 100 years, humankind has undergone three technological revolutions, and the mainstream political and economic thoughts have experienced a cycle from classical liberalism to various types of anti-liberalism and finally to neoliberalism. In the two liberal periods, the overlap of liberalism and a technological revolution caused sharp contradictions between the rich and the poor, leading to profound economic adjustment and great political and social turmoil worldwide. In the non-liberal period, however, the overlapping effects were relatively mild. Currently, the world is facing similar trends and risks as during 1914-1940. Whether humankind will repeat the same mistakes merits attention and vigilance. This study argues that it is necessary to oppose unilateralism, uphold multilateralism, and advance globalization and free trade under the concept of collaborative development and shared prosperity, as well as explore comprehensive and sustainable development. These are of great significance for human society to prevent risks, obtain advantages and avoid disadvantages, and maintain world peace and development.展开更多
