In the context of the global energy transition and geopolitical reconfiguration, a comparative analysis of the strategies pursued by the world's leading actors is of critical importance for forecasting economic and political trends. Contemporary energy policy has evolved beyond being solely a matter of domestic development and has become an instrument of strategic positioning in the international arena. The interaction of diverse approaches to ensuring energy security, diversifying energy sources, and achieving climate objectives is shaping a new architecture of international relations. This article presents a comparative analysis of the energy strategies of the European Union, China, the United States, and the Middle Eastern countries (with a focus on Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates) and evaluates their economic implications.
