'A fascinating and comprehensive analysis of the major issues at stakes for the future of the EU Energy Security Policy in the Gas Sector. This book offers a detailed assessment of the main achievements by the EU in that field, and soundly highlights the necessary interaction between both internal and external dimensions of the EU energy security policy for gas. It also identifies the right challenges for the EU in the long term.' Sami Andoura, Senior Research Fellow, Notre Europe, France 'Filippos Proedrou’s study is for anyone interested in understanding the European Union’s present energy situation, particularly the gas sector. The book is a well-summarized monograph that deals with salient themes of the EU’s energy security... skilfully weaving facts into a coherent narrative. Proedrou is clearly well-read in energy and international relations; particularly with regard to the gas sector, the complex narrative of the EU’s internal rift due to its intergovernmental and supranational character is tied in well... Overall, this is a solid book when it comes to consolidating facts, records, and reports in a single study.' Slovo
