- Title
ECONOMÍA Y GEOPOLÍTICA DEL SECTOR ENERGÉTICO: DESDE LOS COMBUSTIBLES FÓSILES A LOS MINERALES DE LA TRANSICIÓN.
- Authors
Merino García, Pedro Antonio; Martínez Pérez, José María
- Abstract
This article explores how, in the current complex geopolitical landscape, economic and energy security has become a top priority. It also illustrates how the energy transition reduces dependence on fossil fuels but introduces new vulnerabilities by increasing demand for critical minerals --specially in the form of refined and purified products-- reshaping geopolitical actors and dynamics. China's current dominance in these materials presents crucial challenges. In response, Western countries seek strategies to reshape supply chains and attract new investment, yet these efforts clash with the difficulty and costs of reducing dependence on China, giving rise to a series of dilemmas regarding the desire for decoupling from China and the need to advance faster in the energy transition.
