EU–Russia Energy Relations, EU Energy Integration, and Energy Security: the State of the Art and a Roadmap for Future Research

Abstract:
The 2014 Ukrainian crisis has aggravated numerous gas-related disputes and highlighted the overall politicisation of energy issues between the EU and Russia. These tensions have unveiled a need to address the growing disarray in EU–Russia energy relations, to assess the role of EU integration in multilateral energy processes, and to classify various understandings of energy security across Europe.

This commentary provides an overview of how scholarship has tackled these issues so far. Discussing the contributions and shortcomings of these studies, it offers a roadmap for a future research agenda.
