As a result, the Chinese energy industry has now gone through more than seventy years of transformation. Yet to date no single work has sought to assess the key factors driving these changes and their effects on Chinas energy security, even though such questions have implications for assessments of the worlds energy security.\n\nEnergy Security in Times of Economic Transition addresses this gap. Juxtaposing a domestic perspective with a wider, pan-energy-industry view, Yao Lixia explores trends in the evolution of Chinas energy policy since its inception in 1949 and discusses the relations between policy changes and macroecono.
