“…Yet, different from Van De Graff and Colgan's study, we highlight competition for secure access to natural gas resources and transit routes as significant motives shaping Russian strategy. Russia highly prioritizes securing supply routes in Ukraine to ensure that its gas reliably reaches European customers [24,29]. Van de Graaf and Colgan [99: 62] also stress that Russia values its reputation for being a reliable gas supplier.…”

“…We argue that while energy related issues were not the primary factor triggering the Russia-Ukraine conflict, they played an important role in exacerbating it. Other compelling research supports this argument, highlighting how Crimean energy reserves and access to Ukrainian pipelines to Europe critically shaped Russia's foreign policy [29].…”

This article advances theoretical and empirical knowledge at the nexus of energy politics and conflict intervention by analyzing the complex dynamics connecting energy resources, civil war, and outside state support of rebel groups. It focuses on the role of global energy supply competition in states’ decision to support armed groups that are involved in conflicts in other states. Further, this study enhances the extant research that focuses primarily on the resource wealth of conflict-ridden states by analyzing the effect of the interveners' resource wealth on their sponsorship of foreign non-state armed groups. This study identifies two causal paths linking energy resources, specifically natural gas, to state support of rebels by building on outside state supporters’ motives for: (1) competition over supply to global markets; and (2) secure access to resources and supply routes. The empirical section includes a large-N analysis on original data covering 454 rebel groups and their state supporters and a detailed case study of the Russian intervention in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.

“…Ludwig Bertalanffi developed the general theory of systems, which determined the system as a set of elements that are in a certain relationship with each other and with the medium (King and Gulledge, 2014). There are many definitions of the system, among which by definition of the ISO 9000:2000 system is a set of interconnected and interacting elements (Mohapatra, 2017). Studying the general theory of the organization, they synthesize many concepts in the general conceptual construct and postulate: The system is an object that solves actual contradictions in the given conditions of the environment due to the functional orientation of its dynamics and structure, formed by organizational processes (Wohlstetter, 1977).…”

Territorial security implies the possibility of providing a continuous process of development and functioning in a particular locality. Taking into account that fact that the main focus is now made on the complex development of territories, the continuous improvement of the mechanisms ensuring the process is constantly being improved. The article discusses how it is possible to use the method of mathematical modeling and statistical evaluation in order to answer the question whether there are enough resources in the territory in order the development to be continuous. The urgency of the research is determined by the fact that the most important element of development is the possibility of consuming energy resources and, accordingly, the possibility of their production in conditions of economic change. The novelty of the research is determined by the fact that for the first time the question is raised about the structure of the energy security of the territory. The authors consider the issue of compliance with the structure of energy consumption as an object of research and propose to calculate the level of energy security by the extent possible to provide the territory independently, if necessary, at the expense of alternative energy sources. The practical direction of the research is determined by the fact that the possibility of independent development of territories is projected without external influence from agents of economic development. The paper analyzes not only the existing system of today, but also the forecasting model.
