“…The Russian Federal Government, for example, has implemented an energy policy to increase the resilience and supply of their domestic energy supply. One of the objectives is to explore the Siberian region, which has oil (15%) and coal (12%) reserves (Saneev, 2014). The Russian government sees a real threat in the form of energy scarcity, a lack of energy supply for the community, and a stifling of Russia's regional development, particularly in the Eastern part (Saneev, 2014).…”

“…One of the objectives is to explore the Siberian region, which has oil (15%) and coal (12%) reserves (Saneev, 2014). The Russian government sees a real threat in the form of energy scarcity, a lack of energy supply for the community, and a stifling of Russia's regional development, particularly in the Eastern part (Saneev, 2014). The Russian government declared this threat in a government decree included in the Russian Federation's Energy Strategy.…”

“…Furthermore, the state is required to ensure the continuity of energy supply at reasonable prices (Alfadh, 2012). The Russian government did not face opposition when it declared the issue of energy security because, in the domestic sphere, energy supply was required to support the growth of the property industry (Saneev, 2014). A similar phenomenon occurs throughout the Pacific region, most notably in Fiji, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, and the Solomon Islands.…”

“…The Russian government conducts energy exploration and exploitation in the East Siberian region in order to meet domestic energy needs and support the growth of the property industry (Saneev, 2014); Northern European countries declared a "Nordic Program for Cooperation on Energy Policy" in order to diversify energy sources due to high domestic demand. Efforts to mitigate these threats are centered on regulating the amount of electricity available, taxes, and future energy sector development strategies (Kilpeläinen, 2020).…”

“…If not addressed, energy issues, like other security issues, can pose a threat to the security sector. For example, due to domestic needs and demands to develop its property industry, Russia has prioritized energy issues as part of its national security (Saneev, 2014). China, like Russia, has prioritized energy to support its economic growth.…”

Security studies debated the phenomenon of "high politics," such as politics and the military, at the outset of their development. As the study's object, it discusses the arms race, nuclear war, and political coups. Following the end of the Cold War, the economic, social, and environmental sectors became subjects of study in security studies. Not only that, but security studies also address issues that are frequently overlooked, such as energy issues. This is undeniably one of the most pressing issues in security studies today. The energy issue discusses how the country's foreign policy efforts will be carried out in order to avoid the threat of domestic energy scarcity. The inclusion of energy issues in security studies does not happen overnight. Through this scientific article, the author intends to examine how energy issues can become part of security issues. The author employs the concept of securitization to examine the securitization of energy issues from the standpoint of a security study. The author used a qualitative method in this study, with secondary data collection (journals and archive documents) as part of the data collection technique. The discussion of this scientific article has resulted in the securitization of energy issues being divided into three stages. Non-securitization, politicization, and securitization are the stages. Energy issues are not considered security issues during the non-securitization stage. When the energy issue becomes politicized, it poses a real threat that the government must address. Meanwhile, security issues have defined threats in the securitization stage. However, this securitization process will only take place if the audience accepts the threat and the state takes responsibility for mitigation efforts. The author comes to the conclusion that the securitization of energy issues is mutual between the state and the audience (society).
