The Origins of Energy Security: British Energy Policy in the Middle East (Selling the Same Horse Three Times!)

Author

  • Ioannis VIDAKIS

Abstract

This specific text focuses on UK energy policy. It attempts to link the past to the present by making a short story focusing on energy sources. The United Kingdom has decided to use the «black gold» in warships, with a serious risk: it didn’t have its own inventory and had to look for it elsewhere. The decision of Britain involved countries and people of the wider Middle East in support of its energy interests for many years.
