China's rapid economic growth has led to a huge increase in its
domestic energy needs. This book provides a critical overview of
how China's growing need for oil imports is shaping its
international economic and diplomatic strategy and how this affects
global political relations and behaviour.
Part One is focused on the domestic drivers of energy policy: it
provides a systematic account of recent trends in China's energy
sector and assesses the context and processes of energy policy
making, and concludes by showing how and why China's oil industry
has spread across the world in the last fifteen years. Part Two
analyses the political and foreign policy implications of this
energy-driven expansion and the challenges this potentially poses
for China's integration into the international system. It examines
a number of factors linked to this integration in the energy field,
including the unpredictabilities of internal policymaking; China's
determination to promote its own critical national interests, and
the general ambition of the Chinese leadership to integrate with
the international system on its own terms and at its own speed.
The highly topical book draws together the various dimensions of
China's international energy strategy, and provides insights into
the impact of this on China's growing international presence in
various parts of the world.
