Prirodni gas kao „političko oružje”: Razumevanje diskursa
NATURAL GAS AS A ‘POLITICAL WEAPON’: DISCOURSE UNDERSTANDING

Summary/Abstract: The natural gas as a ”political weapon” discourse has been present in the public sphere for several decades. in this paper, we will first compare the different perspectives of the authors when it comes to the possibility of using natural gas as a political weapon. The research method is primarily based on content analysis and discourse comparison, primarily in the academic field, and partly in the media and political spheres. in addition to analyzing the discourse on political weapon, we also consider the discourse on natural gas as an energy weapon, although there is no clear boundary between them. after comparing different perspectives in the academic field, we will point out two possible reasons why the discourse on natural gas as a political weapon was created or shaped. one reason for the militarization of discourse can be sought in the context of broader political relations, while another reason can be sought in conflicting commercial interests and increased competition for markets.
