The aim of the proposed collaboration is to identify and conduct leading research that combines the geopolitical understanding of policy-making and international relations with the business perspective of how public and private companies need to operate as policies evolve.

Subjects to be addressed include the following:

• The different perspectives on what energy security means and how it can be achieved  – particularly between producer and consumer nations;
•  Actions taken by nations to “securitise” energy supplies
• The evolving role of energy security as a key element in the relationship between nations and regions
•  How are the flows of international investment being influenced or restricted as governments become more concerned by energy security
• What role do the public/private sectors have in attempting to ensure specifically understood notions of energy security?
• What role do renewable energy sources have in attempting to ensure specifically understood notions of energy security?

• How is energy security affecting the relationships between companies and state bodies?

• Are the key institutions involved in negotiating energy security suited to this role?
