Información del libro
European leaders, economists and scholars are voicing their concerns regarding the fact that most European countries are dependent on a limited number of sources. At some point in the future, the world's remaining fossil fuels will begin to dwindle and eventually run out completely if it continues with current trajectory. Such situation could potentially lead to irreversible damage not only to the economy but also to society in general. It is for this reason that European countries attempt to reduce their dependence on such a small number of suppliers and work towards diversification of their energy routes. The diversification policy is now driving European states to seek out alternative routes in order to reduce vulnerabilities to just few suppliers. This endeavor will increase the level of security in Europe's energy sector, bring new geopolitical challenges and will create new energy diplomacy strategy. Within such complex energy diplomacy, Azerbaijan's role in facilitating these developments is the foundation of this study.
