Research on the Development of Energy Cooperation Progress in The Shanghai Cooperation Organization:Analysis by Perspectives on Power and Identity / 上海合作組織能源合作進程發展之研究:權力與認同的視角分析

碩士 / 國立中正大學 / 戰略暨國際事務研究所 / 104 / Since the foundation of The Shanghai Cooperation Organization in 2001, the demand for oil and natural gas from each member country has soared, along with the rapid economic development. In addition, by virtue of the huge complementarity of energy structure among member states, cooperative programs to protect each member's energy security has gradually developed.“Energy Club,” a multilateral energy security mechanism first proposed by Russia in 2006, is a key program under the framework of SCO multilateral trade and economic cooperation.
However, after many years, the concept of “Energy Club” is yet to be concretely implemented and institutionalized. Therefore, by reviewing the energy cooperation among major member states of SCO ——Russia, China and Kazakhstan——we could find that the factor of coopetition from power has led to difficult progress of bilateral energy cooperation for the past 15 years, to say nothing of carrying out multilateral energy mechanisms on schedule. Furthermore, with the deepening progress of bilateral energy cooperation, regional identity of SCO member states becomes an important consideration when in search of a solution, given that the progression of “Energy Club” is still hysteretic.
Hence, the given thesis attempts to analyze the energy strategies of the major member states by applying perspective on power from geopolitics, and further figure out the restrictive and propellent factors which influence the progress of bilateral energy cooperation. Moreover, by means of perspective on identity from social constructivism, the thesis also strives to demonstrate that regional identity for regional integration of the SCO, progress of multilateral energy cooperation and strategic trend of major members plays dominant roles. Lastly, the author will come to the conclusion in order to clarify why the progress of “Energy Club” initiative has shown its hysteresis and intensification.
