Abstract: Cooperative energy security is not just intergovernmental cooperation. This paper explores the contribution of the original concept to the task of bringing together the international environmental and energy agendas. In its emergence through study of the Caspian region, the concept of cooperative energy security suggests the need for creating international, transnational, and multinational political coalitions having a strategic multi-faceted perspective. focused on concertation for governance. The question is discussed, how to encourage and implement the development of such a dedicated association of governmental, nongovernmental, and inter-governmental organizations.
