Özet:

Energy has become one of the top issues in the field of international relations in the last decade. This is also the case for Turkey. In particular, the issue of energy security is closely concerned with countries that provide a large part of the energy demand through imports. Problems with ensuring energy security can reach a level that can affect the macroeconomic balance of countries. Therefore, Turkey is developing and implementing various strategies and policies to ensure energy security. If the strategies and policies produced fail, the developments can reach the dimensions that threaten national security. This study tries to explain how the issue of energy security can become a issue of national security.
