| Summary: | The article will focus on the competition - cooperation continuum in the energy
security framework of the Caspian – Black Sea region, arguing on the dual role of oil and
natural gas resources and pipeline projects to fuel conflict and at the same time to build
stability, in the context of the protracted conflicts in the region. It will debate on the
conceptualization of energy security in the traditional approaches of realism and
neoliberalism while proposing a social constructivist model of analysis that will go beyond the classical, state-centered theoretical streams. The role of the regional patterns of interactions, dynamics, and actors in approaching energy security challenges and opportunities will be brought to light. The multiplicity and diversity of factors underpinning energy security will be emphasized, bringing together insights on the political, economic, social, and technological challenges and opportunities in the field of energy in the Caspian – Black Sea region. |
