Russia as an Energy Great Power: Consequences for EU Energy Security

Javier Morales

Chapter 2 in Energy Security, 2008, pp 24-33 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the past few years, energy security has become one of the European Union’s foremost concerns. The rise in world energy prices, the instability in the Middle East, and the challenges of reducing the environmental impact of energy production and consumption have made EU member states include the diversification of energy supply among their main priorities. The spread of a new ‘energy nationalism’ in producer countries like Russia — which has pursued increasingly assertive policies since the beginning of Putin’s presidency — has been an additional reason for this preoccupation.1
