Ariel Cohen of the Heritage Foundation has published an important new energy paper examining what needs to be done to solve Europe’s near total lack of coherence on a common energy security policy. The familiar trends and patterns of Russia’s energy policy disaggregation, cooperation and co-optation are once again in evidence. Excerpts from Cohen’s paper about how the Kremlin works to lock in demand, lock in supply, and eliminate competition can be found after the jump. It’s no big surprise that Austria plays a key role in strategy energy dependency.
