 abstract={In its new REPowerEU plan, the EU has promised to phase out its reliance on Russian fossil fuels. These plans were introduced as a response to Russia’s renewed invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which has severely impacted the European Union’s energy security. While the energy crisis that has emerged because of the 2022 invasion is severe, the EU has been affected by gas crises before: in 2006 and 2009. Especially the 2009 gas crisis hit the EU hard: for two weeks, no gas flowed from Russia through Ukraine at all. These two crises of 2006 and 2009 are the only instances that can compare to the 2022 gas crisis. In order to learn lessons from these past crises, this doctoral dissertation aims to find out how the EU’s understanding of energy security evolved during the gas crises of 2006 and 2009.The methodology employed to do so is the discourse-historical approach of critical discourse analysis. Within this approach, Krzyżanowski’s three-step normalisation model will be employed to the corpus of data. The analysis of this doctoral dissertation reveals that a discursive shift and hence, a discursive change, towards securitisation has taken place that includes sustainability and environmental aspects. Therefore, the gas crises of 2006 and 2009 have had a severe impact on the evolution of the EU’s understanding of energy security. In addition, the analysis reveals that EU discourse after the 2009 gas crisis closely resembles EU discourse in the REPowerEU plan, providing ground for an elaborate socio-diagnostic critique that is typical of the discourse-historical approach.},
