Energy and Environmental Insecurity (Joint Force Quarterly, Issue 55, 4th Quarter 2009)

Abstract

Energy security is now a commanding priority. The emerging energy system is far more complex and global than the industrial era system it is slowly replacing. Today, when security planners talk about energy security, they are as likely referring to carbon emissions as to energy self-reliance and affordable oil. Moreover, the solutions that the international system has employed for over a century to secure its access to energy are becoming decreasingly effective. This article examines critical issues surrounding energy in the evolving security environment.
