This book explores the timely topic of energy security and international relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation. Pursuing a constructivist-discursive approach, it empirically analyses a corpus of energy discourses involving policymakers and representatives of the EU and the Russian Federation. Exploring various discursive meanings assigned to the material and technical character of EU-Russian energy relations, the monograph underscores how the identities and interests of both parties are strongly affected by the norms and values which frame the individual energy discourses.

Lukás Tichý , PhD, is Head of the Centre for Energy Policy and a researcher at the Institute of International Relations Prague, Czech Republic, where he focuses on issues concerning EU-Russian relations, energy security, discourse analysis, terrorist attacks on energy sectors, foreign and security policies of the EU and Russia, and international relations theory.
