China’s Energy-Supply Security in the Multi-Energy Transition Period From Fossil Fuels To Renewable Energy
(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2020) Bowlus, John V.; Ediger, Şevket Volkan; Dursun, Ahmet Faruk; Ediger, Volkan Ş.
The rise of China as an economic superpower after the 2008 global financial crisis has attracted increasing worldwide attention. Securing access to ample and affordable energy supplies - energy-supply security - has underpinned its rise and will continue to contribute to its economic prosperity. This chapter examines China’s energy-security challenge with respect to its policies. The global energy system is currently undergoing a multi-energy transition away from fossil fuels: the powers will take different paths, creating competition between one another and thus between energy sources. The development of China’s energy-security policies and challenges as well as climate change, both at home and abroad, will therefore shape this competition and the global energy transition in the coming decades.

State capitalism and hydrocarbon security in China and Russia
(Elsevier, 2021) Ediger, Şevket Volkan; Bowlus, John, V; Dursun, Ahmet Faruk
This study seeks to investigate how and why state capitalism developed in China and Russia in the oil and gas sectors and explain why two countries that have contrasting energy-security challenges use state capitalism to solve them. It argues that state control over the oil and gas sectors has succeeded in achieving their respective goals, bolstered bilateral hydrocarbon ties between the two countries, buffered each against the geopolitics and financial volatility of oil and gas markets, and offered greater flexibility to shape their respective energy regimes over the last two decades. Still, state capitalism presents geopolitical and commercial challenges as the energy transition away from hydrocarbons advances in the coming decades.
