Abstract: The term “energy security “is often used in discussions on the issues of energy industr y, global policy and inter national security. However, there is no consensus among the international scholars towards this term. The article includes an attempt to show that methodological ambiguity towards energy security is due to risks and challenges of various nature, appearing at various times in the sphere of establishing and implementation of energy policy of states. The author singles out the three key approaches or dimensions of energy security of states, being developed within the frameworks of various scientific disciplines in response to threats and challenges of principally different nature. These approaches provide for a rather complete picture of theoretical constructions regarding energy security. The works aimed to evaluate efficiency of state policy in the sphere of energy security tend to follow one or several main directions as described above. Due to the complicated character of existing energy system and their fast transformation the problems may not be efficiently studied and resolved within separate scientific disciplines. The author makes a conclusion that the further development of the theoretical constructions in this sphere should be achieved through the synthesis of achievements found in various approaches towards evaluation of state energy security, in order to make it more reliable, complex and verifiable. Keywords: state administration, geopolitical transformations, energy strategy, national security, global energetic system, energy policy, energy security, energy supply security, security threats, diversification of risks.
