Abstract

The aim of the study is to identify energy security issues in the assumptions of national security strategic documents. The study seeks responses to the following research questions: (1) What aspects of energy security are included in national security strategies? (2) Are national security strategies oriented to a comprehensive approach combining the issue of energy security with economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability or to a narrow view of energy security as continuity of energy supplies? A multiple case study analysis of national strategic documents of selected NATO Member States — i.e., the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Poland, was employed to achieve the research aim.
