"Global energy futures and country risk"
Abstract:
How is the global energy scene likely to develop in the coming decades? As the companion paper argues, energy policy has always been about the world economy,
national policies, technologies, religion and much else. Building on the prognosis in the paper, we will focus on the art of country risk assessment, and of scenarios.
Given the nature of the ongoing process of world affairs, we will argue that that it is arguably more important to accept the inevitable subjectivity of opinions regarding the future, which remains open ended. So should our thinking, even if our judgement and the bet we take closes off futures. Scenarios and options go together.
