Summary
This chapter looks at how energy fits into our understanding of international security as part of the widening of the security agenda. First, we define exactly what energy security means. Then we look at what theories of international security predict around energy security before moving on to a case study of the Middle East as an energy supplier. The chapter rounds out with a look at how the great powers in today’s international system are approaching the energy challenge.
