This edited collection highlights the different meanings that have
been attached to the notion of energy security and how it is taken
to refer to different objects. Official policy definitions of
energy security are broadly similar across countries and emphasize
the reliability and affordability of access to sufficient energy
resources for a community to uphold its normal economic and social
functions. However, perceptions of energy security vary between
states causing different actions to be taken, both in international
relations and in domestic politics. Energy Security in Europe moves
the policy debates on energy security beyond a consideration of its
seemingly objective nature. It also provides a series of
contributions that shed light on the conditions under which similar
material factors are met with very different energy security
policies and divergent discourses across Europe. Furthermore, it
problematizes established notions prevalent in energy security
studies, such as whether energy security is 'geopolitical', and an
element of high politics, or purely 'economic', and should be left
for the markets to regulate. This book will be of particular
relevance to students and academics in the fields of energy studies
and political science seeking to understand the divergence in
perspectives and understandings of energy security challenges
between EU member states and in multilateral relationships between
the EU as a whole.
