Description (excerpt):
This inaugural edition of the International Index of Energy Security Risk (International Index) is designed to complement the annual reports on U.S. Energy Security Risk, first published by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy in 2010. The International Index measures energy security risks across different countries for the years 1980 through 2010. The risk index scores are calculated for the United States and 24 other countries that make up the large energy user group: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russian Federation, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, and the United Kingdom. The scores for these countries are reported in relation to a reference index representing the average risks for Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) member countries. The OECD average risk index is calibrated to a 1980 base year figure of 1,000.
