EU-Russia Energy Relations

Abstract

This chapter consists of a detailed examination of the individual discursive approaches—namely, the integration, liberalisation and diversification energy discourses—of the EU and their comparison for the years 2004–2014. In all three cases, this chapter researches the basic themes and the perception of Russia by the EU. At the same time, within the framework of these three EU energy discourses, the treatise observes the relation of norms and values to the position of the EU in external energy relations and thus also their impact on the formation of the identity, interests and goals of the EU and the tools, framed by intersubjectivity, which it uses to fulfil them. Last, but not least, the chapter compares the differences and similarities of all three EU energy discourses with regard to their content and the tracked concepts. A temporal comparison of the discourses in the two periods of 2004–2009 and 2010–2014 is also provided.

Notes

  1. 1.

    One example of this is the 2005 Energy Community, which aims to ensure a stable investment environment and the creation of an inner market for electricity and natural gas between the European Community and the contracting parties.

  2. 2.

    The Energy Charter Treaty was signed in Lisbon in December 1994; it entered into force in April 1998. The main aim of the ECT is to support the long-term cooperation in the area of energy on the basis of complementarity and mutual beneficiency. Although Russia signed the Treaty in 1994, it refused to ratify it.

  3. 3.

    In 2009 the process of modernising the Energy Charter Treaty was launched with the aim of increasing its attractiveness and relevance.

  4. 4.

    For more on the subject, see Chap 2.4, of this monograph.
