Abstract: Abstract Energy is widely regarded as a sector of broad strategic importance, a characteristic that helps define it as one of Strange’s secondary power sectors and keeps it, despite shifting ownership and liberalisation, as a focus of public policy concern. Within the European context, energy has long been considered as a vehicle for European integration. It figured prominently in two out of the three founding treaties of the European Communities — the 1951 Treaty of Paris which set up the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the 1957 treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Commission (Euroatom). The neo-functionalist aspirations of the founding fathers envisaged that the co-operation in the key coal and steel sectors would stimulate closer integration in other sectors, setting off a snowball effect that would stimulate integration in related areas across an increasing range of activities.
