Demanding development
This paper examines the drivers of Chinese overseas financing in renewable energy and the political economy factors in recipient countries that steer this finance towards climate-friendly projects. We examine utility-scale renewable energy projects in Argentina, Bulgaria, Chile, Ecuador, Ethiopia, Kenya, Lesotho, Pakistan, and Romania. Through in-depth interviews with policymakers and relevant stakeholders, we gathered data on the factors that le…
The Impending Oil Shock
In the April–May 2008 issue of Survival (vol. 50, no. 2, pp. 37–66), Nader Elhefnawy argued that oil production is approaching its peak, with consequences that are likely to be dramatic. There will be increased risk of state failure and resource conflict; the economic balance of power among major industrial states will shift according to their relative abilities to adapt to a scarcity of fossil fuels; and oil producers will enjoy greater politica…
The Persian Gulf and the Geopolitics of Oil
Re‐evaluating US strategic priorities in the Caspian Region
In the aftermath of September 11, US strategy has shifted in the Central Asian region from protecting the sovereignty of the southern post‐Soviet states to ensuring their stability in light of the dual impacts of energy development and the rising threat of Islamic terrorism. Although US–Russian cooperation has made strides, particularly concerning Russian acquiescence toward US and NATO military engagement in the region, geostrategic rivalry and …
Beijing's oil diplomacy
China's quiet shift to net oil importer status in 1993 marked a forced departure from the Communist Party's three-decade experiment in self-sufficiency and opened the possibility that China could, some day, be as vulnerable as other industrial nations to unexpected events affecting global oil markets. Being a net oil-importer should, logically, bring China's interests closer to those of the oildependent West. In 1990, China abstained when the US …
Russia, energy and the West
The fate of the Russian economy, the dynamics of the new Russian élite and the outcome of the country's still-uncertain post-communist transition are related in no small measure to Russia's vast oil and gas resources. Energy is a key factor in President Vladmir Putin's diplomacy - whether with Iran and Iraq, former Soviet republics or the EU. Energy is also an important subtext in US-Russian relations, both as a source of cooperation and, in some…
The Shocks of a World of Cheap Oil
Oil prices have been flirting recently with $25-130 per barrel, levels almost reminiscent of the oil shocks of the 1970s. Rising energy prices have been accompanied by the usual hysteria about dwindling supplies and potentially dangerous transfers of wealth, tempting policymakers to consider ways of dealing with a coming oil crisis. But contrary to much received wisdom, the energy problem looming in the early 21st century is neither skyrocketing …
The myth of the Caspian 'great game
The current fixation with the Caspian Basin's alleged resource bonanza is exaggerating the region's commercial and strategic significance, distorting US foreign-policy calculations and raising the risk of unnecessary contention with other actors, particularly Russia and Iran. The Caspian Basin's oil reserves are significant, but logistic, economic and political hurdles will prevent their speedy development. For the foreseeable future, the Persian…
