Energy has long been a key factor in defining major countries’ international policies, formulating their diplomatic strategies and determining the relationship between major countries. It also helps influence the power balance in the international governance system.
Recently, as concerns about energy security and climate change intensify, countries around the world are required to reexamine their energy strategies and readjust their energy policies to tackle the new challenges. Companies in the energy industry also find themselves in a new, ever-changing environment. Against this backdrop, China needs to come up with a new way of developing energy industry and Chinese energy companies also need new approaches to environment and sustainability.
This course aims at introducing energy development of China, the main focuses of which are around the following four themes: “China’s Energy and Environment Strategy: Threats and Opportunities”, “Energy Issues: From Strategy to Action”, “Dimensions of Energy Issues: From the Past to the Future”, “Chinese Energy: Domestic and International Implications”. This course is trying to be training students to learn how to understand energy in China by the methodology of International Political Economy (IPE) Theory from the perspectives of both theories and practices on various issues in energy development. The extensive cases teachers have collected through the time of their working in the international energy organizations、think tanks of international studies and transnational energy cooperation will make the course both informational and vivid.
This course will examine this intersection between international security, politics, and energy issues. It will look at how countries shape their strategies to meet their national demand for energy, as well as how these changes will influence their relationship with other countries, which will also have major implications for the international system. In particular, this course will analyze China’s energy issues from an international perspective. Interesting discussions are as the following:
1. Energy Diplomacy and Energy Geopolitics
2. Energy as a Determinant and as a Strategic Commodity of the International System
3. New Energy Innovation and the Role of Government and Market
4. China Energy Development and Chinese Energy Companies’ Overseas Ambition
