Extract:

On September 22nd 2006, Angela Merkel, Vladimir Poutine and Jacques Chirac met in France to redefine the European energy security policy. Not only is the energy security at stake in Europe, but also in the rest of the Western countries.

The present file is composed of three documents. The first one is an advertisement released by Chevron Corporation, in 2006. This ad aims at heightening public awareness of the problem of the shortage and the concentration of energy in just a few places in the world. The last two documents were released in The Economist. The first one, entitled Oil and geopolitics: Crude arguments, published on October 9th 2004, tackles the issue of the dependence on energy of the western countries. The last article, entitled Nervous energy, released on January 7th 2006, deals with the energy insecurity in the world.

The energy market has become a tight market. Not only are the energy supplies depleting, but they are also concentrated in unstable countries, far from were these supplies are needed. What are today the stakes of energy security for the western countries?
