• Evaluating energy security in the Asia-Pacific region: A novel methodological approach (2010, background): “Due to its polysemic nature, few works have made a serious attempt to clarify the concept of energy security (Chester, 2010).”
• The three perspectives on energy security: intellectual history, disciplinary roots and the potential for integration (2011, background): “Another example of systematically framing energy security problems is the study of the ‘polysemic nature’ of energy security by Chester [52].”
• Energy system resilience – A review (2021, background): “Moreover, the energy security definition has changed over the years [35,54] with broadening and diverging in-”
• The challenging economics of energy security: Ensuring energy benefits in support to sustainable development (2012, background): “3 Chester (2010) presents a broad analysis of the concept, and argues that it is “inherently slippery because it is polysemic in nature.””
• Nuclear power, climate change and energy security: Exploring British public attitudes (2011, background): “The scale was intentionally designed to capture a broad range of meanings of ‘energy security’, as it has previously been assigned a range of interpretations (Chester, 2010).”
• Comparative risk assessment of severe accidents in the energy sector (2014, background): “In recent years, the comparative assessment of accident risks has become an integral component within the broader context of energy security, sustainability and critical infrastructure protection (e.g., Cherp and Jewell, 2011; Chester, 2010; Johansson, 2013; Sovacool, 2013; von Hippel et al., 2011; ”
