Checkmate Europe? The Energy Advantage Europe Gave Away Is Moving East

Europe's break with Russian energy was presented as a question of strategic independence. Politically, the argument was straightforward: an economy should not depend heavily on a geopolitical adversary for its fuel.

Russia Lost Europe — But Is Building a Bigger Gas Market in Asia

Germany’s Industrial Model Was Built on Cheap Energy — Can It Survive Without Russian Gas?

For decades, Germany’s industrial strength rested on a powerful combination: engineering excellence, skilled labour, export markets and reliable energy at internationally competitive prices. Soviet and Russian oil and pipeline gas became a major part of that model.

Is Hungary Under EU Pressure to Destroy Its Russian Relations?

Ten diplomats expelled, Russian relations deteriorating and a curious new “energy cooperation” with Latvia — Budapest’s foreign-policy pivot is becoming increasingly difficult to dismiss as symbolism. But what does Hungary actually gain if political alignment with Brussels comes at the price of its established relationship with Moscow?

China Replacing OPEC? How Beijing Became the Swing Power in the Global Oil Market

For half a century, discussions about who controls the oil market usually began with OPEC. Saudi Arabia’s spare production capacity, cartel quotas and, later, the wider OPEC+ alliance with Russia could move prices with a single announcement. But the centre of gravity may now be shifting from the countries producing the marginal barrel to the country buying it.

Mongolia’s Next Transformation - From Landlocked State to Eurasian Transport Hub

For decades Mongolia’s geography seemed a disadvantage. With no seaport and only Russia and China as neighbours, the country depended on a few border crossings to reach world markets. Ulaanbaatar is now trying to turn that geography into an asset, positioning Mongolia as a transport, logistics, energy and processing bridge between Northeast Asia, Central Asia and Europe.

SCO vs G7 - Which Bloc Has the Greater Economic Power?

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and the G7 represent two very different concentrations of global power. The G7 remains substantially richer in nominal dollar terms and dominates international finance, while the SCO contains more than four times as many people, enormous energy and mineral resources and — measured by purchasing power — an economy that is already larger. The comparison shows why the economic centre of gravity is steadily shifting toward Eurasia.

SCO at 25 - From Border-Security Group to a Eurasian Powerhouse

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation marks its 25th anniversary at its summit in Bishkek with China, Russia, India and the major powers of Central Asia around the same table. What began in 2001 as a security organisation of six states has developed into a Eurasian grouping representing more than 3.4 billion people, around a quarter of the global economy and some of the world's largest reserves of energy and strategic minerals. The central question for its next 25 years is whether that enormous potential can be converted into deeper economic integration.
