Abstract :Energy is one of the issues that have remained at the forefront throughout history as one of the basic needs of great importance for humanity. For this reason, the energy phenomenon is one of the most important phenomena that must be secured in the international system. In this study, the energy phenomenon will be discussed in terms of security and the security of the phenomenon in question will be underlined, and the importance of energy in the international system will also be emphasized. Energy will be tried to be included in expanded security studies, to which a great contribution has been made especially by the Copenhagen School, by considering both its 4 A’s (Availability, Accessibility, Acceptability and Affordability) and its supply, demand and transition dimensions. As a result of all these efforts, it is aimed to introduce the \'energy security\' sector into the literature, where energy is discussed alone in the security dimension, independent of other energy sectors.
