Hybrid strategy; EU gas agenda for Russia

Examining the global gas energy market, it can be seen that the European Union is still one of the largest consumers in the world, but the operational and tactical levels of the domestic market of this union have changed. The strategy of European institutions from the 1950s onwards was based on the approach of markets and institutions, which had the liberalization of the energy market and a greater focus on companies and private actors. But since 2000, we have seen the EU move towards a regional and empire strategy that seeks to elevate its global position vis-.-Vis large producers such as Russia through biased policies. The main question is what will be the EU strategy towards the domination of Russian gas? The hypothesis that will be considered is that the EU, given the shortcomings of the strategy of markets and institutions, tends to a strategic approach to regions and empires, and at the same time develops a combined strategy to balance Russia's energy power in It uses the global energy market. This article seeks to further examine the operational and tactical levels of EU energy vis-.-Vis Russia in a descriptive and analytical manner, enumerating the characteristics of the two strategies.
