Events around the world have shown that the energy transition is more likely to be chaotic rather than peaceful as nations around the world engage in a struggle to achieve global governance. This unique compendium of useful information will help readers understand how the desire to implement an energy transition is being used to catalyze a change in the modern world order. The book concludes with the identification of possible world orders that might emerge after the energy transition.
