Energy security has emerged as one of the most important
contemporary geopolitical issues. Access to reliable, cheap energy
has become essential to the functioning of modern economies but the
uneven distribution of energy supplies has led to perceptions of
significant Western vulnerability. At the same time, many in the
West have become wary of China's re-emergence as a major power in
global politics, with its impact on Western foreign policies and
potential threat to Western energy security. This book offers fresh
insights into the rise of China as a global superpower and the ways
in which its rise is perceived to threaten Western energy security,
engaging specifically with how the idea of the China threat has
emerged in popular discourse. The author questions how recent US
foreign policy has sought to position China as an antagonist to
Western energy interests and explores how this image has become the
dominant understanding of China by the West. Rather than treating
these issues as given, which orthodox approaches tend to do, this
book analyses the discursive relationship between US identity,
foreign policy and energy security, which leads to a more nuanced
and critical understanding of perceptions of China's potential
threat to Western energy security. Filling an important gap in the
emerging corpus of research on energy security, this book will be
particularly valuable to students and scholars of Politics,
International Relations and Chinese Studies.
