The paper begins with a theoretical and methodological section, which defines energy security, explains the significance of natural gas and its specific characteristics, and outlines the methodological framework for the subsequent analysis. The second core part of the thesis analyses (and compares with other relevant geographical entities) specific aspects of the energy security of natural gas in both Czechia and Slovakia. More precisely, the focus is on the availability, affordability, natural gas storage, the gas industry’s structure, and the context of European Union policies. |
