Energy and security policy concern two goods which are readily available only for few people on this planet: reliable access to affordable energy and safety of life and property. These strategic goods (being mutually dependent) are the basis of modern societies. Without a stable security environment states cannot ensure security of supply and conversely without energy no country can provide for the security of its citizens.

We see energy and security policy as intertwined issues and in the scope of the SECUNERGY project connect both.

 

SECUNERGY assesses events in the energy sector from the security perspective and analogously scrutinizes energy related issues of violent conflicts. In general, our articles are written collaboratively and cover contemporary issues ranging from upstream (exploration, production/mining) to downstream (transport, delivery, consumption) activities. At times, topics from each of our areas of interest will briefly receive special attention from the respective authors. These may be flashpoints of interest popping up in the news - at first glance still unrelated to its sister aspect energy/security.
