Enerji güvenliğinin sağlanması bütün dünya ülkelerinin ilgi alanında olsa da; enerji güvenliği ölçümü bir güçlük olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Enerji güvenliğini ölçmek için çeşitli göstergeler ve indeksler bulunmaktadır. Ancak enerji güvenliği ölçümü, bileşenlerini ölçmenin zorluğu ve kimi zaman da imkansızlığı nedeniyle komplike bir meseledir. Çünkü bileşenler bölgeler, ülkeler ve ayrıca dönemler ile farklılık göstermektedir. Bunun yanısıra her bir göstergenin ve indeksin kendi avantajları ve dezavantajları bulunmaktadır. Giderek artan enerji güvenliği araştırmalarına rağmen halen kabul edilmiş tek bir ölçüm metodu bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışma uluslararası organizasyonlar ve hükümetler tarafından karşılaştırmalar yapmak ve politikalar üretmek için kullanılan gösterge ve indeksleri dikkate alarak, enerji güvenliği ölçümünün kapsamlı bir analizini sunmaktadır. Kaliteli ve güvenilir data elde etmede bir bariyer teşkil eden mevcut belirsizliğe dikkat çekmek amaçlanmıştır.

A CRITIQUE OF ENERGY SECURITY MEASUREMENT

Öz

Although ensuring energy security is a key concern of the countries all over the world; measuring energy security remains a challenge. There are several indicators and indices to measure energy security. However energy security measurement is a complicated issue because of the difficulty and sometimes impossibility to measure its components. Because the components differ by regions, countries and also by periods. Besides each of the indicators and indices has its advantages and disadvantages. Despite the growing energy security research there is still not an accepted, single measurement method. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of energy security measurement referring to the indicators and indices used by international organizations and governments to make comparisons and to yield policies. It is aimed to call attention to existing vagueness as a barrier to get high-quality and reliable data.
