  • Why global energy markets need governing

    After a year of upheaval it may seem perverse to take the world’s financial system as a model for anything – least of all for governance.

  • Georgia, Ukraine and energy security
    Bulletin article by Dieter Helm, 02 February 2009

    In January 2006 Russia interrupted gas supplies to Ukraine and triggered a short, sharp shock to Europe in its ever-growing dependency on Russian gas.

  • After the gas conflict
    Insight by Katinka Barysch, 23 January 2009

    On January 20th, Russian gas started flowing again through Ukraine, after a two-week shut-down that had left people in South East Europe freezing and factories idle. The relief across Europe was palpable but the confusion about what happened is still there.
  • Just another gas crisis?
    Insight by Katinka Barysch, 07 January 2009

    Russia has cut off the gas flowing to and through Ukraine – again. Like in January 2006, Moscow and Kyiv are blaming each other, while a convoluted mix of political intrigues, shady middlemen and broken contracts makes it almost impossible for outsiders to ascertain which side is at fault.

  • Pipelines, politics and power: The future of EU-Russia energy relations
    Report by Pavel Baev, Vaclav Bartuska, Christian Cleutinx, Clifford Gaddy, Roland Götz, Daniel Gros, Barry Ickes, Andrey Konoplyanik, Konstantin Kosachev, Tatiana Mitrova, Andris Piebalgs, Jeffery Piper, Pawel Swieboda, Dmitri Trenin, Sergey Yastrzhembsky , 01 October 2008

    Does the Kremlin use energy as a political weapon? Why is Russia’s oil and gas output stagnating? Can and should the EU try to reduce its dependence on Russian hydrocarbons? Are the EU and Russia engaged in a pipeline war? What does energy solidarity mean? What rules should govern EU-Russia energy relations?

  • The bear's Achilles heel
    Opinion piece by Charles Grant
    The Guardian, 15 August 2008

    For many American commentators, plucky little Georgia has been the victim of Russian imperialism. The Guardian's Seumas Milne takes an simplistic view: Russia is blameless for a war caused by US "expansion".
