“…36-38). But there have also been alternative explanations, including constructive (Constantin, 2005;Kuteleva, 2021) and securitization of energy-oriented approaches (Phillips, 2013). From a realist point of view, possible confrontations and struggles over resources have been emphasized.…”

Bu çalışma, enerji güvenliği kavramını incelemekte ve iklim krizi bağlamında alternatif bir paradigma önermektedir. Bu bağlamda enerji güvenliğine yönelik Uluslararası İlişkiler disiplinindeki ana akım ve çağdaş yaklaşımların ön kabulleri incelenecek ve realist, liberal, çevresel ve insan güvenliği olmak üzere dört çeşit yaklaşımda formüle edilecektir. Bu yaklaşımlar, geleneksel ve çağdaş enerji güvenliği paradigmaları olarak sınıflandırılacaktır. Bu çalışma, realist ve liberal yaklaşımlarla bağlantının enerji güvenliği alanındaki hâkim strateji olduğunu ve bu nedenle, enerji ve güvenlik arasındaki ilişkinin yeniden kavramsallaştırılması gerektiğini ileri sürmektedir. Çevresel ve insan güvenliği yaklaşımları, enerji güvenliğinin sınırlarını derinleştirmede etkili olmuş olsa bile hem ana akım hem de çağdaş enerji güvenliği paradigmaları için eleştirel bir yaklaşım gereklidir. Bu bağlamda çağdaş enerji güvenliği paradigmasının sorunlu yönlerini vurgulamak için Çin'in enerji güvenliği politikalarına odaklanılacaktır. Akabinde, iklim krizi bağlamında bir paradigma arayışı içerisindeki enerji güvenliği politikaları için normatif ve disiplinlerarası bir çerçeve olarak gezegensel güvenlik kavramı önerilecektir.

“…Of course Amitav Acharya's (2014) work has been central to examining the evolution of ASEAN as a security community in the constructivist tradition, while Evelyn Goh's (2013) analysis of regional order building in the region also draws on constructivist thought. On securitisation too, a range of analysts have identified the ways in which 'new' security issues such as disease, migration, environmental change, and energy access have been constructed as security threats (see Curley and Wong 2008;Hameiri 2014;Phillips 2013b). But we also see attempts to examine and account for traditional security dynamics through such analyses, with analysts exploring the securitisation of issues such as the South China Sea dispute (e.g.…”

Critical Studies on Security

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ten years ago, Anthony Burke and I published an edited book: Critical Security in the Asia-Pacific (Manchester UP, 2007). The book endorsed a broad conceptualisation of critical security that encompassed both deconstructive and reconstructive approaches, while contributors applied these approaches to issues in the Asia-Pacific region as diverse as the North Korean nuclear program, Australian foreign and security policy, Indonesian separatism and the role of the military in southeast Asia, among others. This special issue, arising from a series of papers presented at the ISA Asia-Pacific conference in Hong Kong in 2016, is not an attempt to 'update' what was never intended to be a genuine survey of Asia-Pacific security dynamics from a critical perspective. It is, rather, an attempt to once again illustrate the utility of critical approaches in making sense of, and potentially changing, security conceptions and practices in the region, through a disparate range of case studies. This introductory paper outlines the contours of the special issue while also examining the take up of critical approaches to security in scholarship in and about the region since 2007, and reflecting on the implications of changing regional security dynamics for the future of critical approaches to security. Ultimately, I suggest that the papers in this special issue, like the book a decade before, serve to illustrate the continued purchase of critical approaches in helping us understand, and potentially change, the way security is conceived and practiced in the Asia-Pacific.

“…In an interview with an official involved in the drafting of China's 2012 energy white paper, they find that oil supply is constructed as a security issue specifically because it can threaten the ‘self‐reliance’ of China in energy terms: the security of the state again remains at the center here . The emphasis on national security in China's energy securitization is also noted elsewhere . Leung et al further suggest that although China's energy security strategy has involved increasing engagement with the global oil market through the ‘going out’ strategy adopted in the early 2000s, ensuring the state's supply through diversification has remained key to energy security.…”

Consequently, from this perspective 'risks to national energy security are something that affects the nation as a whole and is likely to originate externally, from other nations,' so oil supply is more likely to be considered a security issue.…”

Securitization in Chinese climate and energy politics

This article provides an overview of securitization in Chinese climate and energy debates. Scholars have debated the merits as well as the potentially problematic implications of securitization, or framing issues as ‘security,’ since the early 1990s. Early concern focused on the potential problems with linking environmental issues with ‘security,’ and the debate has since also turned specifically to the climate and energy. However, it is only recently that this debate has begun to pay attention to China. Energy and climate concerns are of increasing importance to China: the sheer scale of its energy consumption and air pollution struggles dwarf the challenges seen by other states, and its policy choices play a key role in shaping global climate and energy dynamics. Thus, while securitization in the Chinese context is rarely studied, how China frames its energy and climate policy matters. Both energy and climate are taken increasingly seriously, and security plays an increasing role in debates. This review surveys the increasing popularity of linking security with climate and energy issues both in the academic debate on China and in official discourse, and some of the potential implications.
