Energy Dominance: A Trumpist Energy Security Strategy

Captioned Energy Dominance: A Trumpist Energy Security Strategy, this study elucidates the Trumpist approach to energy security packaged as energy dominance in a context of geopolitical tensions, global energy interdependence & the skepticism of Trumpism about climate change. The volume provides a balanced account of the economic, geopolitical, geoeconomic, security, geostrategic, and strategic implications of energy dominance. In so complex an arena as energy dominance, with numerous ramifications, policy trade-offs are indispensable. The study has made a compelling case that the Trump administration’s energy dominance roadmap embodies more than just an economic policy and an energy security strategy. The Trumpist energy roadmap epitomizes a strategic doctrine for energy, economic, geopolitical, geoeconomic and geostrategic domination enshrined in the political mantra to “make America great again”, by seeking to guarantee energy independence for the USA through the development of fossil fuels and nuclear energy to influence global energy prices, provide affordable and reliable energy supplies to Americans and America’s strategic allies, exert control over energy resources from antagonistic states, and reduce dependence on China’s green energy supply chains. The\analogy underscores that energy dominance is a realist energy policy strategy that is designed to achieve geopolitical dominance and preserve America’s national interest. Energy dominance is therefore more than just a mere political slogan of the Trump administration. It is a cornerstone for American national power that underpins the economic resilience of the USA, as well as her determination to strengthen alliances through energy liberalism and energy commandeering to deter rival energy producers, as a political strategy for global economic dominance, and a veiled blueprint for geopolitical and energy dominance, overseen by the National Energy Dominance Council.
