One important geopolitical consequence of the demise of the Soviet Union was the rise of intense political and commercial competition for control of the vast energy resources of the newly independent and vulnerable states of the Caucasus and Central Asia.
And if talking about today 35% to 79% of global act are acting for oil.
As considering the importance of oil, for any business to be start it is needed.
Ever since oil became a crucial resource at the beginning of the 20th century, fuel for motor vehicles and modern warships, it has been at the heart of geopolitical struggle. Today gas, used to fuel electric power generation, industrial processes and domestic heating, is just as important.
Geopolitics' means the struggle between rival powers for control over territory, natural resources (oil and gas, minerals, food products, water, etc), vital geographic features (strategic harbours and military base locations, rivers and canals, trade routes, etc), and other sources of economic and military advantage.
