Vorwort

The South Caucasus is a region of strategic importance for Europe’s energy supply. This is why energy security is so high on the agenda of both the EU’s bilateral relations with regional states, and of the Eastern Partnership. However, the current political instability of the South Caucasus represents a threat to future European energy security and to the security of the region itself. The 13th RSSC SG publication offers an insight into the current situation and provides an overview of the energy framework and its potential for the future. Furthermore, the behaviour of important regional actors is disclosed to see how they cope with the current instabilities and if their aim to establish a regional energy community would balance the needs of affordability, availability, and access of the regional countries.
