Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter (peer-reviewed)peer-review

Abstract / Description of output

Great Britain is often cited as a historical example in discussions of energy policy, due to both its early and deep energy liberalisation and its early commitments to climate protection. This chapter reviews past and current British energy security policy to elicit a wider understanding of the importance of security and resultant policy. Various alternative strategic approaches to energy security are outlined, drawing possible policy recommendations and implications for energy security policy into the future.
