The purpose of this research is to examine the role of the Russian and Turkish
pipelines to the European Union’s energy security. In an age of emerging energy
challenges and constant redrawing of the supply and transit maps, the geopolitical
energy implications are of high importance. The European Union with its strong
economy and heavy energy demand is a major player in the international energy
arena. For the purposes of the paper I hypothesized that the Russian and Turkish
pipelines are competitive to each other and complementary with regards to EU
energy security, in the sense that the EU can decide from where it draws its
resources. My hypothesis was based on the realist school of thought and was
examined through a comparative analysis between the Russian and Turkish
pipelines. To measure the significance of the current and projected pipelines as
well as the energy relationship between Russia, Turkey and the European Union I
employed four codes during my research conceptualization; pipelines (their
number and performance), national gains (political and economic gains for Russia
and Turkey in utilizing their pipelines), political will (of Russia and Turkey in
promoting their pipelines to the EU market) and ways of influence (of the
European Union towards Russian and Turkish energy policy).
The result of my research affirms the complexity of the energy relations between
the three shareholders and supports my hypothesis. An issue that was beyond the scope and focus of the current paper but was presented as extremely important for further academic
studies is the role of the United States in affecting EU energy security policy and
in unilaterally supporting pipeline projects across the regional chessboard to
promote its own political goals and ambitions.
