Rossella Bardazzi, Maria Grazia Pazienza and Alberto Tonini
Abstract Energy security has become a heavily discussed topic due to rising
energy demand worldwide, increasing import dependence in many European
countries, geopolitical tensions and conflicts and the need for a regulatory and
policy response. The papers collected in this volume aim at analyzing how energy
securityinEuropeinfluencesinternationalrelationsandenvironmentalissueswitha
multidisciplinary perspective, corresponding to the book three sections: interna-
tional relations, focusing on Eastern EU partners; energy economics, highlighting
the current unconventional hydrocarbons revolution and its impact on EU energy
and climate strategies; public policy perspective, with the analysis of EU policies
and two case studies. The issues considered in the volume represent a selection of
hottopicsinthedebatethatareframedtogetherbythisintroductorychapterwhere
the editors give an overview of the research themes, outline the structure of the
book and summarize the contents of the individual chapters.
