| Title | New Energy Security Policies in Europe: Making All Quiet on Western Front |
| Summary | This paper is focused on the problem of energy security in Europe, particularly on security of natural gas supplies. Regarding the problem of high dependence on import of natural gas from the third countries, this paper is aimed on finding political pathways to reduce dependence of European countries from most unreliable natural gas supplier – Russian Federation – through establishing solid political agenda with other countries, which are important for natural gas supplies to Europe, as well as important for procedure of gas transit. This paper will use the method of network analysis and process-tracing in order to investigate, which countries increase its importance for natural gas supplies to Europe by 2030, as well as its importance as countries who performs transit of gas and its distribution within European gas pipelines network. We will also investigate current relations between EU and these countries in order to indicate, whether these relations include “energy component”, aimed on common rules, principles and understandings for natural gas supplies security. The main findings of this paper show that at current stage relations between EU and countries, important for gas natural supplies and transit are limited in sense of energy security provision. |
