    EU energy security in the context of The Russian Federation’s change in energy strategy: the geopolitical aspect
    (Wydział Nauk Politycznych i Dziennikarstwa UAM, 2015) Chornii, Nazarii
    The article analyses the significance of the relationships between the EU and Russia concerning energy, and the primary disadvantages stemming from latter day EU security issues in this field. Particular attention is paid to the peculiarities of European energy geopolitics with the influence of the processes between the EU and Russia, which outlines the relationship between the geopolitical processes and the changes in the energy sector, allowing the author to determine the impact of globalisation due to the changing EU energy strategy regarding security issues. Furthermore, attention is also given to how relevant is the aggressive nature of falling oil prices, by characterising the changing geopolitical effects and the assumed prospects of the strategy adopted by the Russians and its influence regarding the European political processes, whilst accounting for the reluctance of some EU countries to participate in the creation of a more secure common energy policy, emphasising the political impact on Russia and its relevance to Europe. Consequently, the author stresses the need for a consolidated EU approach to create a common energy strategy. In the absence of a common approach regarding the issue of energy security, it could lead to increased Russian political influence in the EU, triggering more threats to energy security.
