Energy Security Forum No.8

The topic which we have chosen for the eighth volume of the “Energy Security Forum” attracted an interest of some really recognized experts in the field. This awarded us with the possibility to publish the most extensive issue of the journal which this time includes seven articles. All of them explore one major dilemma: how to find a balance between the need to protect critical
energy infrastructure objects and a fear to lose important classified information if this is done not by the owners of this infrastructure?
