Engergy Security in the Baltic Sea Region: Regional coordination and and management of interdependencies
The study maps changing energy relations in the Baltic Sea region in the aftermath of two events – the 2004 EU enlargement that has changed the political and institutional / regulatory landscape of the region and the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine that has put the issue of energy security – and security in more general terms – very high on the European political agenda. It discusses how the regional distribution of energy resources and energy policies have contributed to altering the level of energy security in the whole region and in particular countries, how various actors have addressed energy security concerns by cooperative policies, in particular, EU wide and sub-regional (Nordic, Baltic) coordination measures aimed at managing energy interdependencies and increasing energy security.

Macht aus der Pipeline: Russlands Energiepolitik und die EU
Russland nutzt seine Energieressourcen zu geopolitischen Zwecken. Gazprom ist pro forma ein unabhängiges Unternehmen, de facto aber Mittel zu Zwecken, die der Kreml vorgibt. So werden etwa die Gaspreise für die Nachbarstaaten in Abhängigkeit von der politischen Nähe der jeweiligen Führung zum Kreml festgelegt, und es zeigt sich auch in der Krise zwischen Russland und der Ukraine. Auf dem europäischen Energiemarkt ist die Abhängigkeit von Gas aus Russland aufgrund der Leitungsgebundenheit ein besonders sensibler Aspekt der Energiesicherheit. Die EU wäre gut beraten, für ihre Energiepolitik nach Alternativen zu suchen.
