| Summary / Abstract (Note) | As the Crimean crisis continues to develop, it is becoming clear that Ukraine's reliance on Russia for gas imports may prove to be a fundamental weakness, with the latter wielding price increases as an economic weapon. With Russia threatening to simply cut off these crucial supplies to its neighbour, the conflict has also served to underscore key questions about European energy security more broadly. David Koranyi assesses the status quo before analysing Europe's options for supply diversification, focusing primarily on its central and southeastern regions. |
