Research: Northeast Asia Energy Cooperation Workshop Program
Document Actions
In 2003, the Baker Institute’s Energy Forum began an important research collaboration with energy and economic policy think tanks in Japan and China on “The Future of Energy Security and Energy Policy in Northeast Asia: China, Japan and the United States.” The joint project brings together scholars from the three countries to examine the future of energy policy formation in Northeast Asia. As part of the multi-year effort, the Baker Institute’s Energy Forum, the Institute for Energy Economics, Japan, the UFJ Research Institute of Tokyo, Horizon Survey Research of Beijing, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences and Boodc Inc. of China are hosting a series of international workshops and original sponsored research projects examining the future of energy security, energy policy formation and environmental awareness in Northeast Asia, focusing on the potential for coordination between China, Japan and the United States. These workshops bring together scholars and policy-makers from all three countries to examine three key factors affecting the future of energy and environmental policy formation in Northeast Asia: The changing attitudes, knowledge and influence of the Chinese people on energy and environmental issues; The changing relations between China ’s government regulatory and ownership institutions and its state-owned oil and gas companies; The potential for Chinese, Japanese and American governments, state-owned oil and gas companies and multi-nationals to construct multi-lateral institutions of energy and environmental policy coordination.
