| Title | Energy security as a public policy issue. Case of Nabucco |
| Summary | The price volatility of the main energy commodities, the ever decreasing energy resources and constantly increasing energy demand, emergence of new players in the global energy arena such as China and India have made ‘energy security’ an important issue of international debates. Europe as the major consumer of natural gas is concerned with securing its energy supply, especially after several cut-offs of Russian gas supply due to the price disputes between Russia and its neighbors Belarus and Ukraine. These concerns have leaded Europe to search for alternatives to the Russian dominance in the European energy market. The construction of Nabucco pipeline is viewed as one of the effective tools to diversify the gas supply and enhance energy security of the European Union. In the light of these geopolitical debates, this study will develop the public policy framework for European energy security and gas market as such, analyzing the Nabucco project as a public policy attempt to tackle market failure which the gas market is subject to. |
