Global energy security relies heavily on the availability, affordability, and reliability of energy resources, factors that deeply influence international relations. Strategic competition over vital energy reserves, key transit routes, and distribution networks frequently creates geopolitical tensions across key producing regions, including the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Arctic. In response, nations implement diverse strategies to protect their energy supplies, ranging from developing resilient infrastructure and diversifying resource types to investing in renewable energy technologies. International agreements, multilateral collaborations, and institutional frameworks also serve an important role in managing collective risks. Ultimately, moving towards a sustainable and secure energy landscape requires policy frameworks that carefully balance economic growth, environmental targets, and national security objectives, moving away from finite fossil fuels to mitigate climate change while preserving stable supplies.
Energy supply interruptions and price spikes affect everyday life, industrial production, and global stability. Understanding how geopolitical rivalries and national policies shape access to resources helps policymakers, investors, and public institutions navigate the clean energy transition. A balanced transition ensures that shifts toward renewable power do not compromise national security or economic stability.

Energy security is a critical dimension in the contemporary global landscape, where the availability, affordability, and reliability of energy resources play a pivotal role in shaping geopolitical dynamics and national policies. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the intricate interplay between energy security, geopolitics, and policies on the global stage. The quest for energy security is inherently linked to the geopolitical landscape, as nations strategically position themselves to secure access to vital energy resources. The competition for control over key energy reserves, transit routes, and distribution networks often shapes international relations, leading to geopolitical tensions and conflicts. The study delves into the geopolitical dynamics surrounding major energy-producing regions, such as the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Arctic, analyzing the impact of these dynamics on global energy security. Policies and strategies employed by nations to enhance their energy security are critical aspects of this review. The analysis encompasses a range of policy dimensions, including diversification of energy sources, investments in renewable energy technologies, and the development of resilient energy infrastructure. Moreover, the study explores the role of international collaborations, agreements, and institutions in fostering energy security and addressing common challenges. The transition towards a sustainable and secure energy future is a key focus, considering the increasing importance of climate change mitigation and the imperative to reduce dependence on finite fossil fuel resources. The paper emphasizes the significance of policy frameworks that balance economic, environmental, and security considerations to achieve a holistic approach to energy security. This comprehensive review provides a nuanced understanding of energy security within the global context, offering insights into the complex interconnections between geopolitics and policies. It underscores the need for a collaborative and multifaceted approach to address the challenges and opportunities inherent in securing the world's energy future.
