Prologue: The Megatrend of Alternative Energy in the Era of Great Power Rivalry

Why and how have modern developments in alternative energy transformed into a socio-political and techno-economic megatrend of the 21st century? What are its consequences for security? How does the evolution of this megatrend influence the geopolitical, energy, defense, environmental, and economic security of great powers? The book «Prologue» is an attempt to answer these and other questions, define a universally securitized world, and outline the preconditions for developing security priorities and corresponding political measures.
