Abstract

This article analyzes energy security in the context of the regional and global levels. The starting point in analyzing policies pursued by Russia, Venezuela and the Gulf States has become „the first law of petropolitics” according to which, the higher the average price of oil and gas on world markets, the lower is the conviction of the governments of the necessity of internal political and economic reforms, and their foreign and security policy is more confrontational. In the author’s opinion, both the controversy surrounding the Nord Stream project as well as the violent protests in the Middle East, support the hypothesis about the need to promote compliance with the rules of democracy and solidarity between countries as a mechanism for ensuring energy security on a global scale.
