This book examines the role of trust in European-Russian energy relations and how some European countries have become dependent on Russia for energy. It examines how trust is developed between nations, the social interactions that underpin it, and the significant differences in the ways in which difference countries create energy partnerships. The role of cooperation and direct experience, historical memories, national culture, individual personalities, and trade agreement structures are also discussed. European-Russian energy relations are contextualised within the Russia-Ukraine war, Europe’s energy transition, the economic sanctions imposed on Russia, and the role played by the European Union.
This book aims to present policy recommendations to ensure European energy security. It will be relevant to researchers and policymakers interested in energy economics and the political economy of energy.
