ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПРОЯВІВ ЕНЕРГЕТИЧНОЇ КРИЗИ В УМОВАХ ГЛОБАЛІЗАЦІЇ
This paper defines features of the energy crisis in the context of globalization. It is noted that globalization, while bringing countries together, at the same time separates them increasingly in the area of energy and resource supply; that in the context of limited resources leads to a crisis in the global energy system. Investigated were the important trends in the development of world energy of the last decade, which, when uncontrolled, could threaten the stability of this sector. It was inferred that economic development of individual states or of an economic and political union of countries depends on the quantity and supply of energy resources, ways of utilizing them in industry and private sector. Three scenarios of energy situation in the world were grounded, both in terms of the passage of the crisis period, and from the point of view of the transition to a new phase of development, the need for which is quite obvious, namely: inertia, stagnation and innovative scenarios. It was concluded that society is on the verge of a new energy civilization's appearance, though this is a topic for further research of the global system and of the definition of the place and role of energy.
