“…10 According to Waever, the task of securitization is not to assess objective "real" threats endangering some objects, but rather to construct a shared understanding of what it is to be considered a threat and collectively respond. The process of securitization is considered a speech act 11 while hawing means to resist the threat 12 and only political elite of the stateresponsible decision makers, can name an object or process a security issue -and thus securitize it 13 . The securitization expands state (governmental) power because it takes the issue beyond the established rules of the game, putting it above the normal politics 14 and political institutions can claim their special powers, monopolizing the elements, resources and means needed for de-securitization 15 .…”

The article analyses how responsible decision makers (Members of the Parliament and employees in the Governmental institutions) adopt their decisions on the issues concerning energy security of Lithuania. The article is based on a constructivist security approach. The article explores what the main challenges and threats to Lithuanian energy security are, as identified by responsible decision makers. The article analyses how the concept of "energy security" is perceived by responsible decision makers. Additionally, the article identifies the groups that most influence the positions of the responsible decision makers. Finally, it is stated that energy nationalism dominates the thinking of responsible decision makers, which is perceived as a way to increase energy security.

“…India is also covered in the contemporary scholarship devoted to energy security extensively (Garg and Shukla, 2009;Pode, 2010;Jain, 2010;Kumar and Agarwala, 2013;Gunatilake et al, 2014;Rathore et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2018;.

Surprisingly, despite a great number of separate studies on energy security of individual countries that are members of BRICS, common energy security of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa as a group of countries is not addresses in the scholarship at all.…”

The paper addresses the gap existing in the scholarship and provides an analysis of the energy security performance made by the group of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS) over the total of 25 years, from 1990 to 2015. The research is based on a comprehensive approach to understanding energy security as the total of four dimensions: Availability, efficiency, affordability, and environmental stewardship. An energy security performance index operationalizes each dimension of energy security with three indicators, which allows to quantitatively measure the progress made by the group of BRICS in terms of ensuring their energy security. The research conducted surprisingly shows that the overall energy security of BRICS as a group of states has not changed over the years. However, each country has experienced considerable changes in energy security performance, with the most dramatic ones made by Russia (growth) and China (decline).

Will Russia Be a Threat to China? Sino-Russian Energy Relations via Energy Weapo

Beijing is one of the most prominent actors in international system regarding international economy. Several statistics, reports and academic studies are significant evidences for understanding the importance of People's Republic of China (China). Recent literature shows that there are many factors that affect the development of China. The stages and the results of this rising are important for the study together with the factors. Growing energy consumption might be one of the results and a factor related to the rise of China. However, growing energy consumption could also be a reason of many problems. Inadequate energy sources are one of the most important triggers of this problem since it forces states to supply the shortage of energy resources through importation which is the case for China as well. As literature points, China provides a significant part of its energy needs through imports. Therefore, it can be argued that Sino-Russian relations may led to significant energy security problems for China since it is not a self-sufficient country regarding energy resources. Russian Federation (Russia)'s energy-based policy implementations in the past are important evidence for this possibility. We disagree with this argument in the context of natural gas. We argue that, in terms of energy security, Russia will not be a full threat to China in the near future because of at least two reasons: Chinese-Russian mutual energy agreements and China's multidimensional energy policy understanding.
