Energy Sovereignty and Security
Tamar Ketiladze
The University of Georgia
n 21 century Energy security tuned to be a source of global wellbeing
and security. Nowadays Human beings are using much more energy re-
sources than ever.  On the one hand it ensures global economic devel-
opments on the other it challenges energy consumer’s national security.
So, natural resources are either source of geopolitical challenges or op-
portunities for countries. For producers gas and oil became not the
source of ‘’short energy war’’ as it once happened in 1970s, but the tool
for well-coordinated, long-term political goals. That’s why for produc-
ers’ energy security became source of gaining high, expensive economic
and political value on International level. As energy producers per-
ceived their legal and natural right to consider energy resources part
of their sovereignty consumers were left only with getting supply at
‘’reasonable price ‘’. Despite differences consumers and producers
turned to share one common character - energy security became part
of their natural security. But still there is difference as producers more
politicized the subject than consumers (for example Russia). It is obvi-
ous European failure to establish common energy policy and effective
competitive Single Energy Market may lead to energy dependence on
single supplier and creation of Gas OPEC with strong market division
and intention to monopolize. The abovementioned threats can be re-
sponded with strong anti-trust law and diversification of suppliers. anti-
trust law (competition law) should disband production and distribution
by the same company which will lead to healthy competition. Besides it
is necessary to diversify energy resources and eliminate Isolation of
Iran. Otherwise Europe’s dependence on Russian energy will acquire
growing character and intensify International environment.
