Abstract:Over the last three decades, the energetic context of the entire world has changed dramatically. Year by year, the interest in well-managed access to natural resources has been growing, replacing the political background of negotiations and intergovernmental alliances. States are more self-oriented and try to benefit from their geographical position, as well as contouring the new political and economic context according to their interests. Therefore, non-exporting countries can take advantage of exports too. The resource-exporting countries` role in the international arena has grown and reached unbelievable levels since energetic crises emerged, affecting not only the vulnerable states but also the global economic background. Today`s economy is much more interconnected than thirty, or fifty years ago, but states have implemented approximately the same policies regarding economic redress and improvement policies.
