“…Finally, the influence of the EU is examined through an assessment of the extent to which a given member state has aligned with EU policy, but also how the sanctions have impacted. Compared to the aforementioned studies, our main focus is on the first two dimensions while we also take a closer look at the internal dynamics within Russia and Finland and at the global market trends that are equally important when assessing Russia's ability to exercise power [63].…”

Finland’s Dependence on Russian Energy—Mutually Beneficial Trade Relations or an Energy Security Threat?

et al. 2018

Studies on energy security in the context of relations between European Union (EU) and Russia tend to focus on cases, with an open conflict related to supply, such as “hard” energy weapons, or on only one fuel, often natural gas. However, there is a need to understand the long-term impacts that energy relations have politically, economically and physically, and their linkages between resilience, sustainability and security. We analyse the Finnish-Russian energy relations as a case study, as they are characterised by a non-conflictual relationship. To assess this complex relationship, we apply the interdependence framework to analyse both the energy systems and energy strategies of Finland and Russia, and the energy security issues related to the notable import dependence on one supplier. Moreover, we analyse the plausible development of the energy trade between the countries in three different energy policy scenarios until 2040. The findings of the article shed light on how the trends in energy markets, climate change mitigation and broader societal and political trends could influence Russia’s energy trade relations with countries, such as Finland. Our analysis shows that Finland’s dependence on primary energy imports does not pose an acute energy security threat in terms of sheer supply, and the dependence is unlikely to worsen in the future. However, due to the difficulty in anticipating societal, political, and economic trends, there are possible developments that could affect Finland.

“…Shadrina 2014) and on institutions, agreements, and disputes between Russia and its customer countries (Belyi 2015;Romanova 2016). Further studies analyze how the market entry of shale oil and gas from United States fields has intensified the competition for Russian exporters (Kropatcheva 2014). However, the political and economic sanctions imposed by the EU and several other states in Europe, America, and Asia since Russia's annexation of the Crimea from Ukraine in 2014 hamper the energy diplomacy of Russian actors (Aalto and Forsberg 2016).…”

We compare Russian nuclear energy diplomacy towards Finland and Hungary, where the Russian state corporation Rosatom intends to build nuclear power plants by the 2020s. Russian nuclear energy diplomacy features Rosatom working with other state institutions, its own subsidiaries and an extensive network of companies and R&D actors to support Russian nuclear power projects abroad. Using the structuration approach, we find three interests driving such diplomacy: energy business and associated profits; modernization of the Russian economy, including the diversification of its export structure; while foreign policy interests are also involved, considering the constraints emerging in EU-Russia energy diplomacy in the oil and gas sectors, including the sanctions since 2014. Some domestic actors in Finland and Hungary make the linkage between nuclear energy and foreign policy as explicit as do some western commentators. Seeking to pursue these interests, Russian actors must accommodate their considerable assets to the structural constraints they encounter in the target countries. We identify four structural dimensions The Russian actors are well endowed as regards the resources, technology, and infrastructure dimension; and the dimension of finance, business models, and markets. However, on the institutional dimension they face a less controllable environment. Regarding the ecological dimension, they must conform to local safety requirements. In both cases, Russian actors were able to strengthen perceptions of joint interests with actors in the target country facilitating the nuclear power plant projects, thereby paving the way for the use of soft power.

“…Téma je velmi frekventované a populární, přičemž pozornost je mu věnována z nejrůznějších perspektiv -například: (I) v politické rovině je vyzdvihován význam energetických úspor jako možné cesty vedoucí ke snížení energetické závislosti na potenciálně rizikových zemích a regionech (Stegen, 2011; Mareš a Laryš, 2012; Kropatcheva, 2014), (II) v ekonomické rovině je často diskutována role ekonomických přínosů plynoucích z energetických úspor (Garrido-Soriano, 2012 nebo Elsawaf, Abdel-Salam a Abaza, 2013), (III) v sociální rovině je pak pozornost zaměřena na problematiku energetické chudoby a na skupiny obyvatelstva, které jsou touto formou chudoby nejvíce ohroženy (Nussbaumer, Bazilian a Modi, 2012 nebo Bouzarovski, Petrova a Sarlamanov, 2012), (IV) v environmentální rovině se pozornost soustředí na roli, kterou úspory energií mohou sehrát v rámci hrozících změn klimatu (Zhang, 2010;Jinpeng 2011). Zvyšování cen energií pochopitelně vyvolalo i diskuzi na téma možností energetických úspor spojených s oblastí bydlení (např.…”
