Due to the profound changes in the energy landscape brought about by market deregulation, mounting environmental concerns, escalating energy needs, and significant political shifts, there has been a growing interest in energy security in recent years. This book adopts an economic perspective to examine energy security in the international gas market, recognizing that energy security is a dynamic concept that is shaped by economic and political factors. It delves into the theoretical foundations and practical implications of both demand-side and supply-side security in global energy markets. By exploring why energy exporters prioritize independence in energy exports, the book sheds light on the critical issue of environmental aspects of energy security, particularly in the context of climate change. Additionally, it analyzes the potential for the formation of a gas cartel, similar to the oil industry, which has significant implications for market dynamics and policy. This book is of immense interest to scholars and practitioners in the fields of energy economics, energy security, energy policy, International Relations/Security Studies, and relevant policy-makers.
