ISBN 80-903792-3-0 EDITORS´ NOTE The inaugural conference of the Club of Prague,which took place on October 10-12, 2006, was entitled “Energy: Empowering the Individual and the Community”. The Prague Security Studies Institute was the lead organizer of this project. In the course of compiling these proceedings, an editorial decision was made to try to preserve the meaning and, where possible, the words and visual content of the contributions. We greatly appreciate the text and presentation submissions of the participants, which we have tried to reproduce as exactly as possible, given publishing constraints. Other presentations, in the form included in these proceedings, were compiled by the editorial staff and approved by the presenters. Any errors in style or original intent are our own. The executive summaries of the roundtable sessions were put together in a way that seeks to preserve the fl ow and structure of the discussions that took place. Although we have tried to convey the speakers’ diction and meaning, the summaries are works of paraphrase and not transcription. We take responsibility for any inaccuracies here as well.
