Summary
This chapter introduces an original framework for understanding international energy relations (IER) by dissecting them into three interlinked dimensions: international business operations of energy firms, state energy diplomacy and statecraft, and China’s approaches to global energy governance. This conceptualization offers a multifaceted approach to analyzing the complex and nuanced nature of IER.
