Energy security as multidimensional concept

Abstract

"Energy security is more than sustainability, competitiveness and secure supply. It is a multidimensional concept, including external as well as internal action. Economic, political and security measures have to be applied in combination to generate the essential synergies. Thus only an integrated approach, that combines all the different aspects of energy security, can be successful. The EU still suffers a strategic deficit and tries to adjust single setscrews, whilst a wholesale energy security strategy is imperative." (author's abstract)
