Abstract

Energy security concept is contextual and understood in different ways in different context. This paper examines the development of the literatures of energy security. Using chronological method of organization, this paper classifies the literatures into three different periods: 1970-1990, 2000-2010, and post-2010. From this classification, it is found that there is a proliferation of themes in the definition of energy security concept. The concept has expanded from what was initially limited to availability and affordable price, to include themes such as infrastructures, environment, social impacts, efficiency, governance and public policy. This raises a debate as to whether the energy security concept need to be broadened to accomodate the emergence of new challenges or to remain limited in definition so that it would not lose its meaning. This paper then further argues that the definition of energy security should be attached to the definition of security as, “survival in the face of existential threat,” so that security concept itself would be able to retain its focus. Taking a contextual perspective and conceptual variation over time, this paper aims to present a theoretical debate on how energy is understood as a security issue and to serve as a reference for energy policy making.

Bahasa Abstract

Konsep keamanan energi bersifat kontekstual dan dapat memiliki makna yang berbeda dalam konteks yang berbeda. Terkait dengan hal tersebut, tulisan ini berusaha mengkaji perkembangan literatur mengenai konsep keamanan energi dari waktu ke waktu. Tulisan ini kemudian akan mengelompokkan literatur-literatur tersebut dengan menggunakan metode kronologi ke dalam tiga periode berbeda, yaitu periode 1970-1990, periode 2000-2010 dan periode pasca 2010. Dari pengelompokkan tersebut, terlihat bahwa terjadi perluasan tema dalam definisi konsep keamanan energi yang awalnya terkait dengan tema ketersediaan dan harga menjadi mencakup tema infrastruktur, lingkungan, dampak sosial, efisiensi, tata kelola dan kebijakan publik, dan sebagainya. Hal ini kemudian menimbulkan perdebatan mengenai apakah konsep keamanan energi perlu diperluas untuk mengakomodasi munculnya tantangan-tantangan baru atau tetap dibatasi agar keamanan tidak kehilangan maknanya. Penulis berargumen bahwa pendefinisan keamanan energi harus tetap dilekatkan dengan definisi keamanan, “survival in the face of existential threat,”agar konsep keamanan itu sendiri tidak kehilangan fokusnya. Dengan menggunakan perspektif kontekstual dan variasi konseptual dari waktu ke waktu, tulisan ini diharapkan dapat menghadirkan perdebatan teoretis mengenai bagaimana isu energi dapat menjadi isu keamanan serta memberikan kontribusi berupa pemetaan konsep keamanan energi sebagai referensi untuk pengambilan kebijakan energi.
