Letter from the Editor-in-Chief

The four papers in this issue discuss, in their different contexts, some of the most crucial aspects of energy risk at the moment. The geopolitics of European dependency upon Russian gas has been a key issue in the debate on energy security and hovers over all deliberations on longer-term power and gas prices in western Europe. In the opening paper, “Russian gas to western Europe: a game-theoretic analysis”, Zweifel et al focus on modeling the transit game between Belarus, Ukraine and Russia. Considering both cooperation and non-cooperation, the predicted Nash equilibrium is a grand coalition. They observe that the completion of the North Transgas pipeline will benefit Russia decisively, to the detriment of Ukraine particularly.
