A comprehensive study of the geopolitical, security, economic, and environmental future of a major game-changing phenomenon--the alternative energy megatrend.

This is not another alternative energy study. Rather, The Prologue identifies and charts the security-related trajectory of a relatively new global phenomenon: the ascent of alternative energy as a 21st century megatrend.

Why and how have contemporary alternative energy developments evolved into a 21st century global socio-political and techno-economic megatrend? What are the security implications of this megatrend? And what does the megatrend's evolution reveal about upcoming geopolitical, energy, defense, environmental, and economic security challenges? This book endeavors to answer these questions by establishing the conceptual framework of a universally securitized world in which mutually interacting threats have expanded the needs and security considerations of today's globalized and interdependent actors, including states, international organizations, multinational corporations, and political and social movements.

"Alexander Mirtchev's sweeping exploration of the changing energy landscape looks far into the future and outlines issues that will occupy scholars and policymakers for decades to come."--The Hon. Henry Kissinger, Chairman, Kissinger Associates, Former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor

"With the advancements in alternative energy technology at the beginning of the 21st century, energy security thinking and planning will never be the same--Alexander Mirtchev's profoundly original book reveals these new dilemmas that will challenge policymakers in all major economies and provides for dealing with the new realities in a smart way."--The Hon. Judge William H. Webster, Chairman, Homeland Security Advisory Council, Former Director of the CIA and FBI
