Energy Geopolitics Research is a research community exploring the intersection of energy policy, international relations, and global power dynamics.
It brings together scholars, professionals, and students who analyse how energy influences international relations, regional stability, and global power structures.
Our work examines how states, corporations, and institutions navigate the strategic, economic, and political challenges arising from energy interdependence and transition.
Through comparative and cross-regional research, we aim to advance evidence-based understanding of how energy systems, foreign policy, and power politics interact at both regional and global levels.
Energy Geopolitics Research is a non-partisan, non-aligned community that values scholarly integrity and balanced analysis.
Core Objectives
Energy Strategy and Risk Analysis
Assess how energy strategies influence regional stability and global order. Examine the political, economic, and infrastructural risks that arise from shifting energy dependencies.
Energy Diplomacy and Economic Statecraft
Study how governments and corporations use energy policy, trade, and investment to advance foreign policy goals and exert influence within regional and global systems.
Knowledge Exchange and Capacity Building
Connect researchers, policymakers, and practitioners working on energy and international security. Support training, dialogue, and cross-regional collaboration to build expertise in global and regional energy governance.
Values and Principles
Innovation
We employ interdisciplinary approaches to explain how energy strategy interacts with geopolitical risk and international relations, fostering creative responses to complex challenges.
Inclusivity
We value intellectual diversity, integrating Western and non-Western perspectives to ensure that regional knowledge contributes meaningfully to global debate.
Excellence
We maintain high standards of academic rigour and communicate research in an accessible way that informs both policy and scholarly discourse.
Publication Matters
At Energy Geopolitics Research, publication is central to impact.
We believe that research gains meaning only when shared with global audiences who can act on it.
Each publication is published in its entirety on the Energy Geopolitics Research website as open access content and simultaneously shared across Facebook / LinkedIn / X.
Further details about our publication formats and submission process can be found in the Research section of the website.
Organisational Structure and Membership
Energy Geopolitics Research was founded by Martin Zubko, whose profound dedication to the intricacies of geopolitics, international energy relations and security serves as the driving force behind this initiative.
It operates as a research community rather than a formal membership organisation. Those who contribute research, analysis, or commentary become part of our global community of contributors (scholars, professionals, and students) dedicated to advancing understanding of the strategic dimensions of energy and geopolitics. In other words, a publication is the key that unlocks membership.
