Keywords:
European Union, international energy cooperation, energy security, energy policyAbstract
In 2006–2014 energy policy became one of the key policies of the European Union, a specific international actor, comprising 27 Member States in the said period. The goal of the article is to provide the analysis of the EU’s efforts to become a single international actor in the field of energy and discuss the EU’s cooperation with other international entities, intended to reinforce energy security. The article is the first attempt in the Belarusian history studies to analyze the international component of the EU energy policy. The results of the research could be used to study various forms of international cooperation in early XXI century, as well as the role of the energy security issues in international relations.
