Chinas Energy Security and Relations with Petrostates

This book examines the development of bilateral energy relations between China and the two oil-rich countries, Kazakhstan and Russia.

Challenging conventional assumptions about energy politics and Chinas global quest for oil, this book examines the interplay of politics and sociocultural contexts. It shows how energy resources become ideas and how these ideas are mobilized in the realm of international relations. Chinas relations with Kazakhstan and Russia are simultaneously enabled and constrained by the discursive politics of oil. It is argued that to build collaborative and constructive energy relations with China, its partners in Kazakhstan, Russia, and elsewhere must consider not only the material realities of Chinas energy industry and the institutional settings of Chinas energy policy but also the multiple symbolic meanings that energy resources and, particularly, oil acquire in China.

Chinas Energy Security and Relations with Petrostates offers a nuanced understanding of Chinas bilateral energy relations with Kazakhstan and Russia, raising essential questions about the social logic of international energy politics. It will appeal to students and scholars of international relations, energy security, Chinese and post-Soviet studies, along with researchers working in the fields of energy policy and environmental sustainability.

Dr. Anna Kuteleva is a postdoctoral research fellow at the School of International Regional Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics, Russia. Anna holds a PhD in Political Science from the University of Alberta, Canada, and an MA in World Politics from Shandong University, China. Over the past ten years, she has worked extensively in the realm of political science and Chinese studies. Her research is located in a broad constructivist tradition of IR and focuses on the nexus between politics and sociocultural contexts in international relations, with particular interests in energy politics, Russia, and China.

I dedicate my work to my grandfather, Vadim Filippov, and the memory of my grandmother, Antonina Filippova. Ultimately nothing could have been possible without the unwavering support of my mother, Olga Kuteleva.

Contents

At the heart of this book is the interplay between politics and sociocultural contexts in international energy politics. I explore this interplay by examining the development of bilateral energy relations between China and two oil-rich countries, Kazakhstan and Russia, from 2005 to 2017. The goal is to challenge conventional assumptions about energy politics and, particularly, about Chinas global quest for oil by showing how energy resources become ideas and how these ideas are mobilized in the realm of international relations.

Building my analysis on constructivist and poststructuralist insights, I demonstrate that Chinas energy relations with Kazakhstan and Russia are simultaneously enabled and constrained by the discursive politics of energy. I also reveal that Chinas external energy strategy is crucially dependent on its domestic discursive politics of energy. Hence, to build collaborative and constructive energy relations with China, its partners in Kazakhstan, Russia, and elsewhere must consider not only the material realities of Chinas energy industry (e.g., energy resources available in China, its mining, refining, and storage capacity, and the existing and planned transportation routes) and the institutional settings of Chinas energy policy (e.g., Chinas legal frameworks and the structure of Chinas energy government) but also the multiple symbolic meanings that energy resources acquire in China.

Overall, this book not only provides a nuanced understanding of Chinas bilateral energy relations with Kazakhstan and Russia but also raises and brings to the fore questions about the social logic of international energy politics in general. Thus, it offers an important addition to the literature critical of mainstream approaches to international relations and helping to promote discourse analysis within the discipline further.

This book is the result of a six-year-long research adventure. It is based on the PhD thesis which I prepared and defended at the University of Alberta in Canada. In the course of this research project, I have been fortunate enough to receive support and advice from many people.
