The global energy crisis has created a significant impact that is not only limited to the economy, but also exacerbates political tensions in various parts of the world. Changes in energy demand and supply, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have caused energy price spikes and exacerbated political instability in many countries. One of the main causes of this crisis is high dependence on fossil energy sources, such as oil and natural gas. Many countries, especially in Europe, are forced to look for alternatives to reduce dependence on Russia. This increases competition between countries in securing energy supplies, often fueled by political tensions. Energy-importing countries such as Germany and France feel threatened by Russia’s aggressive energy policies, prompting them to strengthen alliances with alternative energy-producing countries, such as the United States or the Gulf countries. On the other hand, large energy producing countries such as Russia and OPEC are experiencing increased political power. They can use control over energy supplies as a tool to influence political decisions in consuming countries. These tensions escalated when countries such as the US imposed sanctions on Russia, adding to uncertainty in global energy markets and triggering political turmoil in countries that depend on the commodity. Apart from that, the impact of the energy crisis can also be seen from the increase in energy prices which has a direct impact on inflation. Many countries are experiencing widespread protests due to the soaring cost of living, leading to dissatisfaction with the government. These social ripples are often used by opposition parties to scapegoat the existing government. For example, in several European and Asian countries, social movements are demanding changes to energy policies that are more sustainable and fair. This situation also exacerbates tensions in countries with already unstable political situations. Countries at risk of ethnic friction or internal conflict, such as Libya and Iraq, are increasingly trapped in uncertainty due to the energy crisis. Control over energy resources is a triggering factor for armed conflict and prolonged political strife. Countries’ strategies for overcoming this crisis vary, including diplomatic action to secure energy supplies as well as investment in renewable energy. These measures, while necessary, do not always receive full support from all political quarters, adding another layer of complexity to governance. The tension between the immediate need for energy and the long-term goal of a sustainable energy transition is often the subject of polemics in domestic politics. Strengthening alliances between countries is considered a solution to face this crisis. International collaboration in research and development of alternative energy is expected to strengthen global energy security. However, the question that arises is how quickly and effectively this commitment can be implemented amidst ever-changing global political dynamics. In the future, the global energy crisis is not just about infrastructure or technology, but is also a test of a country’s political resilience. The ability of governments to respond to the urgent needs of their citizens, while maintaining political stability, will be key in dealing with the turmoil created by energy uncertainty.
