An approach to the European Union's Energy Diplomacy
An approach to the European Union's Energy Diplomacy

Summary/Abstract: Energy has been a concern since the creation of the European Union, as a result of which numerous studies, regulations, directives, and action plans have been developed. The interest in creating an internal energy market has always been fundamental, but over the years, energy challenges have led to the need to shape a coherent external energy policy aimed at diversifying energy sources, routes, and suppliers. The most important instrument of foreign policy is diplomacy, which is manifested even in the energy sector. And at the EU level, since 2015, the directions for action on energy diplomacy have become clear. Thus, supported by a demonstration dedicated to the meanings that can be attributed to the concept, the research will aim to provide an approach to how the EU is involved in theorizing and applying diplomacy in the energy sector.
