Abstract

Energija je često bila sukob još od najranijih razdoblja čovječanstva, a i današnji sukobi često se vode zbog postizanja geostrateških ciljeva u kojima bitno mjesto zauzima i energetski sektor. Cilj ovog rada bio je analizirati koliko je energetska politika važna u definiranju međunarodnih odnosa, konkretno u odnosima Europske unije i Ruske Federacije te kako ti odnosi utječu na međunarodne odnose u cjelini.
Kako bi se dobila kvalitetna analiza korišten je linearni model procesa istraživanja i dizajn studije slučaja kako bi se rad fokusirao na konkretno područje javnih politika – energetsku politiku. U procesu istraživanja korištene su različite metode prikupljanja podataka: dokumentarna i arhivska metoda te istraživanje Interneta. Osim toga, u radu je korištena i triangulacija te komparativna metoda.
Pokazano je da je energetska politika imala vrlo važnu ulogu u definiranju odnosa između Europske unije i Ruske Federacije. Važnost energetske politike očitovala se je u ucjenjivačkom potencijalu Rusije prilikom isporuke plina. Ipak, Europska unija počela se je okretati ka drugim državama u energetskom smislu, a došlo je i do pada cijena energenata. Zbog toga je Rusija izgubila onaj primat koji je ranije imala. Međutim, Rusija je bila, jest i ostat će značajan i važan partner Europskoj uniji pri definiranju energetske politike. Dakle, suradnja i kooperacija Europske unije i Rusije općenito, a posebno u energetskoj politici bit će važna i u budućnosti i svakako će utjecati na međunarodne odnose u cjelini.

Abstract (english)

Energy represented the conflict since the earliest periods of mankind, and today's conflicts often lead in order to achieve geostrategic objectives that occupied a significant place and the energy sector. The aim of this study was to analyze how energy policy is important in defining international relations, specifically in relations between the European Union and the Russian Federation, and how these relationships affect the international relations as a whole.
In order to obtain reliable analysis it is used a linear model of the process of research and design of case studies in order to focuse study on a particular area of public policy - energy policy. In the process of research it is used different methods of data collection: documentary and archival research methods and the Internet. Also, it is used triangulation and comparative method.
It has been shown that energy policy has a very important role in defining the relationship between the European Union and the Russian Federation. The importance of energy policy has been reflected in the blackmail potential of Russia on delivery of gas. However, the European Union has begun to turn to other countries in the context of energy, and there has been a decline in energy prices. That is reason why Russia lost the primacy it had before. However, Russia is a significant and important partner of the EU in the energy policy. So, collaboration and cooperation of the European Union and Russia in general, and particularly in energy policy will be important in the future and will certainly affect the international relations as a whole.
