Abstract

[fre] A la frontière indécise du politique et de l'économique, la crise des approvision­nements du monde occidental fait naître des interrogations sur l'avenir de celui-ci. Cette crise ne date pas d'hier. Elle résulte de l'affaiblissement politique des prin­cipaux pays occidentaux, des dérèglements monétaires mondiaux, de la concentration progressive de l'offre de certaines substances vitales, et du détournement des règles du marché, au profit d'acteurs qui, jusqu'à une époque récente, n'avaient pas leur mot à dire dans le fonctionnement de l'économie occidentale. La question se pose de savoir si les mécanismes, fondés sur les principes de l'économie de marché, qui ont assuré la croissance et la prospérité d'une bonne partie du monde occidental, ne sont pas mis en défaut. Après avoir rappelé les signes avant-coureurs de cette crise, l'article aborde les difficultés des choix auxquels devraient être conduits les pays consommateurs face à une offre cartellisée, concentrée et politisée. Parmi ces pays, les plus exposés sont situés en Europe occidentale. [eng] About the energy crisis . . The energy crisis is looming on thé future of the Western World at the hazy frontier of politics and economics. The crisis is not new. It stems from the political decline of the leading Western countries, Worldwide monetary disorder, progressively concentrated supply of essentialy, and the intrusion in the market forces of operators who, till recently, had no say in the Western world economy. Whether the free-entreprise system, which has brought growth and prosperity to a good deal of Western countries, is not checked, remains to be seen. After reminding the past dues of the incoming crisis, the article discusses the difficult choices that ought to be made by the consuming countries to counter a carterlized, concentrated and politicized stipply. Western Europe countries are the mort endangered.
