Energy dependence is the leitmotif of Eurasian political economy. The
concept recurs in official speeches and is often invoked to imply a
threat. The higher the level of dependence on hydrocarbon imports,
especially oil and natural gas, the higher the energy security risk.
This stems usually from political instability in hydrocarbon-producing
countries, concerns about price volatility, the fact that some
state-owned oil companies are hand-in-glove with authoritarian
regimes, or increased carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels,
which contribute to global warming. More than anywhere else, member
states and associated member states of the International Energy Agency
have sought to make sustainable development (including further
development of domestic resources) and energy security a top priority.
It is perceived as a means towards decreasing dependence. It turns out
that the interests of consuming and producing countries are, however,
more and more divergent, and finding common ground is challenging,
although increasingly important.
