China’s Search for Energy Security cover

China’s rapid economic growth in the recent decades has produced an unprecedented energy vulnerability that could threaten the sustainability of its economic development, a linchpin to social stability and ultimately the regime legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) as well as the foundation for China's rising power aspirations. What is the Chinese perception of the energy security and challenges, how has the Chinese government responded to the challenges? What are the international implications of China’s search for energy security?

This collection of contributions by leading scholars seeks answers to these extremely important questions. The book is divided into three parts. Part I presents an overview of China’s sense of energy security and its strategic responses. Part II examines China’s energy policy-making processes, the efforts to reform and reorganize the energy sector and reset policy priorities Part III focuses on the international implications of China’s search for energy security.

This book consists of articles published in the Journal of Contemporary China.

"China's Search for Energy Security Domestic Sources and International Implications greatly inspires readers, and warns that China’s aggressively pursuing energy security would evoke adversarial reactions in the foreseeable future. In short, this timely volume will be an insightful reading for academics, students and scholars, who are interested in China’s energy security and the corresponding consequences." - Kai Chen, Zhejiang University, China; East Asia Integration Studies, Vol. 6, no. 10 (2013).
