Conceptual approaches of each country to the problem of energy security are defined based on to the national energy potential, the level of economic development, the special risks, resulting in essentially different ways to approach to energy security. As a result, the international energy sphere became a place of political struggle for access to energy. The global aspect of this problem demands the creation of a coordinated approach to ensuring the international energy security, creation of the effective mechanism capable to reconcile opposite interests of various countries and to regulate this process. The methodological basis of this study includes historical, comparative and political, system, sociological methods, as well as the methods of situational analysis, generalization, deduction and induction. The author points out that the main subjects of the international power relations include states, international organizations, multinational corporations.
