Mehdi Amineh

Mehdi Amineh set up the IIAS Energy Programme Asia in 2002. The objectives of EPA-IIAS were twofold; it aimed to (comparatively) study the (i) Geopolitical economy of energy supply security, (ii) Energy efficiency, alternative energy resources and sustainable development for China and the European Union.

The current EPA research programme is titled 'The Political Economy of the Belt & Road Initiative and its Reflections'. It is the third joint research project between EPA-IIAS and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing, China.

Joint Research Programmes EPA-CASS, current and previous

Current

The current EPA research programme is titled' The Political Economy of the Belt & Road Initiative and its Reflections' and is jointly conducted together with the Institute of World Politics and Economy of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (IWEP-CASS) in Beijing, China. It is co-ordinated by Mehdi Amineh (University of Amsterdam and Program Director of EPA-IIAS), Willem Vogelsang (Deputy Director of IIAS), and Zhang Yuyan (General Director of IWEP-CASS).

The programme analyses the origin, processes, and impact of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), focusing on the international and transnational activities of and responses to Chinese corporations in selected countries in Asia, Africa, and the European Union. We also examine the emergence, policies, and geopolitical impact of the related multilateral institutions set up by China, the regional and global reception of such multilateral institutions, their relationship to the activities and policies of Chinese corporations, and how these institutions could alter the existing regional and global order.

The current research programme is the third joint research project of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (IWEP-CASS) and the Energy Programme Asia of the International Institute for Asian Studies (EPA-IIAS).

Previous EPA Research programmes

Between 2007 and 2017, IIAS-EPA and the Institute of West Asian and African Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (IWAAS-CASS) co-managed two joint research programmes, which involved the cooperation of various research institutes of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and universities in the Netherlands:

Domestic and Geopolitical Challenges to Energy Security of China and the European Union (2007 – 2011) (below)
The Transnationalisation of China’s Oil Industry: Company strategies, embedded projects and relations with institutions and stakeholders in resource-rich countries (2013 - 2017) (below)

The First EPA Joint Research Program (2007-2011)

Domestic and Geopolitical Challenges to Energy Security for China and the European Union (2007-2011)
Between 2007 and 2011, a research program titled the ‘Domestic and Geopolitical Challenges to Energy Security for China and the EU’. The objectives of this comparative research project were to analyze a) the geopolitical and b) the domestic aspects of energy security challenges for the European Union (EU) and China, and their impact on energy-security policy strategies. The analysis of geopolitical aspects involved research into the effects of competition for access to oil and gas resources among the main global consumer countries and its implications for the security of energy supplies of the EU and China. The domestic aspects involved analyses of domestic energy demand and supply, policies to increase energy efficiency, and estimating the prospects for the exploitation of renewable energy resources.

This joint research program was a collaboration between the Energy Program Asia and the Institute of Asian and African Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) and totaled 13 scholars and 8 Europe, Canada, Dutch, and Chinese research Centers and Universities. The research program was granted by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Social Sciences (KNAW), CASS and IIAS.

The results of this program were published in two edited peer-reviewed book volumes:

The Globalization of Energy: China and the European Union (10 research papers, January 2010) and
The Geopolitics of energy paths of China and the European Union (14 research papers, July 2012).

The Second EPA Joint Research Program (2013-2017)

Current project; The transnationalization of China’s Oil Industry (2013-2017)
current project is a joint research program titled the “Transnationalization of China’s Oil Industry”. This joint comparative research project analyses China’s increasing involvement with governments, local institutions and local stakeholders in the energy sectors of a number of resource-rich countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America (notably Sudan, Ghana, Saudi-Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, and Brazil).

The project seeks to determine patterns of interaction between China’s National Institutions and Companies, their relationship with foreign investment projects, and the extent to which they are embedded in the local economies of their host countries. China’s huge demand for resources and its novel, professedly non-political approach to investment (including tied aid, loans, and trading credits) sets it apart from European international practices. The effects of trade and investments in resource-rich economies and societies, many of which are managed by China’s state-owned oil companies, require further analysis of transactions, flows of capital, employment, income-generation and other important variables. The main hypothesis is that there exists a growing symbiosis between enterprises and local institutions and China’s company and government behavior, differing significantly from country to country. The main reason for this is the differing institutional context, and place – and time-specific economic opportunities for investment and involvement. Analysis of these investments and running operations can provide important insights into the local effects of bilateral and global energy cooperation, and the learning curves of international and local oil companies.

The joint research program is a cooperation between the Institute of West Asian and African Studies IWAAS-CASS of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and the Energy Program Asia of IIAS. The joint research program is granted by the Royal Netherlands Academy for Arts and Sciences (KNAW), the Chinese Academy of Social Science (CASS) and IIAS of Leiden University.

The core team entails 12 principal researchers, who will present individual studies on various aspects surrounding different countries as case-studies. The interdisciplinary research project is managed by Amineh (the Energy Program Asia-IIAS/UvA) and Prof. Yang Guang (Institute of West Asian and African Studies - CASS) in cooperation with the following Chinese/CASS and Dutch research centers and universities: the Institute of Industrial Economy-CASS (IIE), the Institute of Latin American Studies-CASS (ILAS), the Institute of Russian, East European & Central Asian Studies-CASS (IREECAS), the Centre for Latin American Studies/CEDLA, the Department of Politics and Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology of the University of Amsterdam, the Institute for Environmental Studies of VU Free University Amsterdam and the International Institute for Asian Studies Leiden University.

The results of the first part of the research were published in late 2014 in Special Issues, (2014) No. 5 & 6, pp. 481-831, of the Journal Perspective on Global Development and Technology, under the title
‘The Transnationalization of Chinese National Oil Companies and the European Union Energy Security’. Guest editors and contributors Mehdi P. Amineh (AISSR, UvA) and Yang Guang (IWAAS-CASS).

The results of the second phase of the research programme will be published as Journal Articles, as well as a book volume early 2017.
