“…The concept of energy security has evolved over time, addressing new issues such as efficiency, international relations, environmental protection and institutional dimensions [25,26]. It goes beyond OECD oil importing countries as a proxy for this concept, even illustrating the role of non-state actors, from individual economies to global production networks [7,27].…”

“…Critics of energy indicators have already drawn attention to social inequalities when using energy indicators for certain regions [25]. In this way, a central issue in contemporary studies of energy security is to identify and explore the relationships between energy systems and social values [7].…”

“…Energy security can be understood as "the ability of an economy to guarantee the availability of energy resource supply in a sustainable and timely manner with the energy price being at a level that will not adversely affect the economic performance of the economy" [43] (p. 6). Some authors also consider the environmental and climate change impacts on energy systems in their studies [2,8,18,25,36,39,44].…”

“…Since the indicators usually have different units and scales, it is necessary to make a transformation before aggregating them in order to generate the composite index [4]. The min-max normalization, the most popular method used in different relevant and famous studies [25,29,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68], was performed to allow a linear transformation of the original data. Thus, a new scale, ranging from 1 to 10, is guaranteed by the process described below:…”

Evaluating Energy Policies through the Use of a Hybrid Quantitative Indicator-Based Approach: The Case of Mercosur

2017

This paper evaluates the performance of energy policies in the Southern Common Market (Mercosur), a regional initiative consisting of Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, but also considering Venezuela (full member since mid-2012) and Bolivia (full participation under negotiation since 2015). The methodology is based on a qualitative-quantitative approach. First, we provide a critical review of the literature on energy security. Then, we carry out a comparative analysis of energy policies in Mercosur countries, concluding that there is no harmonization between them. Next, we offer the new concept of socio-environmental-energy security (SEES) as a more suitable approach to deal with current challenges, providing a hybrid quantitative indicator-based approach to the SEES index. Ergo, after defining the indicators, selecting the data, carrying out a normalization process, assigning weights and aggregating data points, the SEES composite index is generated. We suggest that energy integration can contribute to better regional performance in terms of energy policies and that the SEES index can guide policy makers and investments, replacing the old-fashioned concept of energy security.

Sustainable energy is a global issue with significant sustainable development implications. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has specific goal to the energy sector so-called SDG 7. The SDG 7 focuses on accessing to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy services. It has three main targets and involves international cooperative actions. This paper examines the trends and analyzes the profiles of the SDG 7 in Thailand. It estimates SDG 7 indicators in the future under different energy scenarios. This paper contributes to energy studies by analyzing recent trends in SDG 7 and pathways to achieving the goal. The paper presents energy policies and measures related to SDG 7 in Thailand and other South-East Asian nations. It is found that under the three targets of SDG 7, namely energy access, renewable energy, and energy efficiency, Thailand has performed better than the global average. The paper calculates the indicators using findings from existing modeling studies to analyze the pathways for achieving SDG 7. The findings highlight an opportunity for Thailand to achieve SDG 7 by 2030.

This paper sheds light on an integral aspect of the global energy system: energy security. Energy security is a universal topic that shapes policies and regulations in order to achieve higher levels of energy security and thus provides societies with a better life. Understanding the concept and its implications requires a holistic definition, but current research literature lacks a commonly accepted, precisely defined definition. Therefore, the research gap is the absence of a comprehensive definition that takes into account all energy security dimensions, and the absence of well-studied relationships between energy security and its dimensions. Taking that in mind, the gap is addressed by a systematic review of energy security definitions and by building a structural dimensionalization of energy security. Thus, this review aims to track changing definitions of energy security in modern times and formulate a concise and comprehensive definition. Furthermore, using a structural approach, 15 dimensions, and related parameters of energy security are determined and categorized to illustrate the range of issues covered by the term and to enable precise evaluation of the energy security of energy systems. The results of this review show clearly how energy security could be defined generically to account all dimensions, and show the relationships between these 15 dimensions and energy security. Understanding all dimensions of energy security provides insights for policymakers to formulate policies that account for all of these dimensions.
