Imperialism has always been at the center of debates in International Relations since the late 19th century. Imperialism signifies an asymmetrical relationship between the materially advanced societies and relatively “backward” societies. Energy imperialism, as a concept in IR, is mostly used for the situations where the natural resources are used by a state as a leverage to attain its political and military objectives (Harshe, 2005, 2071).
