| Title | Energy Security from a Regional Perspective - the Concept of Regional Energy Security Complexes |
| Summary | Energy is the lifeblood of our modern society, statehood and the politico-economic complex. Security of energy is of utmost importance for the actors of this complex; however energy security as global issue is undergoing significant change – new challenges emerge and new forms of interstate cooperations appear on regional level. The thesis addresses the relationship between these two phenomena from the field of international relations. The aim is to identify a theoretical approach capable of integrating the expanded concept of energy security. The thesis argues that the application of the concept of Regional Energy Complex Theory developed by the Copenhagen School is able to accomplish this requirement by providing a flexible framework to incorporate different understandings on energy security, on the regional level as well by allowing and explaining the emergence of Regional Energy Security Complexes. |
