  • Cleaning up the Energy Sector
    10 Cleaning Up the Energy Sector Victory is when we won’t buy any Russian gas. —Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk1 Ukraine’s energy sector is well endowed but extremely mismanaged. Since Ukraine’s independence, it has been the main source of top-level corruption, and its prime beneficiaries have bought the state. This long-lasting policy has undermined national security, caused unsustainable public costs, jeopardized the country’s balance of payments, led to massive waste of energy, and capped domestic production of energy. It is difficult to imagine a worse policy. In- stead, conditions should be created so that Ukraine can develop its substantial energy potential and become self-sufficient in coal and natural gas.2 The solution to these problems is no mystery and it has been elaborated in a large literature for the last two decades. To check corruption energy prices need to be unified. That means raising key prices four to five times, which will eliminate the large energy subsidies and stimulate energy saving, while also stimulating domestic production of all kinds of energy. To make this politi- cally possible, social compensation should be offered to the poorest half of the population. The energy sector suffers from many shortcomings, and most of these need to be dealt with swiftly. Otherwise, new rent-seeking interests will evolve, and soon they will become entrenched and once again impossible to defeat. The new government has a brief window of opportunity to address the most important issues. 1. “Ukraina osvoboditsya ot ‘gazovoi zavisimosti’ ot RF cherez 5 let—Yatsenyuk” [“Yatsenyuk: Ukraine Will Free Itself from Gas Dependence on Russia in 5 Years”], Ekonomichna pravda, Sep- tember 8, 2014.

  • Poisoned by Gas: Institutional Failure, Energy Dependency, and Security
    POISONED BY GAS: INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE, ENERGY DEPENDENCY, AND SECURITY EMILY J. HOLLAND SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS AND SCIENCES COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2017 © 2017 EMILY J. HOLLAND ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT POISONED BY GAS: INSTITUTIONAL FAILURE, ENERGY DEPENDENCY, AND SECURITY EMILY J. HOLLAND Many states lack domestic access to crucial energy supplies and must deal with the challenge of formulating an energy security policy that informs their relations with energy producing states. While secure and uninterrupted access to energy is crucial to state security and welfare, some states fail to implement energy security policies and remain dangerously dependent on a foreign supplier. In the post-Soviet region many states even actively resist attempts by the European Union and others to diversify their supplies. Why and under what conditions do states pursue energy security? Conversely, why do some highly dependent states fail to maximize their security vis-à-vis a dominant supplier? I argue that that to understand the complex nature of energy dependence and security it is necessary to look beyond energy markets to domestic political capture and institutional design. More specifically, I argue that initial reform choices guiding transition had long-lasting affects on the ability to make coherent policy choices. States that did not move away from Soviet era property rights empowered actors with an interest in maintaining the status quo of dependence. Others that instituted de facto democratic property rights to guide their energy transitions were able to block energy veto players and move towards a security maximizing diversification policy.

  • Changes in Articles of Associations
    IGU Council meeting in Beijing, China, on 24 October 2013, Agenda item 7 IGU Annual Report 2012 1 IGU Council meeting in Beijing, China, on 24 October 2013, Agenda item 7 IGU Annual Report 2012 1. Introduction to IGU International Gas Union, established in 1931, has the vision to be the most effective and independent non-profit organisation serving as the spokesperson for the gas industry worldwide. As of 31 December 2012, the organisation had 122 members from all over the world. The members are the most representative gas entities in a country, or companies with physical or commercial assets related to the exploration and production, storage, transmission, distribution or trading/marketing of natural gas. Until 2003, the IGU membership typically consisted of national gas associations or national gas companies with only one member from each country. New members were initially approved as observer members and could later become Charter members. Following the changes in the IGU Articles of Association (AoA) approved in September 2002, all current members automatically became Charter members as of 1 January 2003. From then on, companies related to the gas industry from any Charter member country could join IGU as Associate members. Significant interest in becoming an Associate member has prevailed and, with this additional membership model, IGU has broadened its knowledge base and network considerably. IGU’s vision is to advocate for natural gas as an integral part of a sustainable global energy system. IGU promotes the political, technical and economic progress of the global gas industry, directly or through its members and in collaboration with other multilateral organisations.

They dominate the production landscape in some of the world’s most oil-rich countries, including Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela and Iran, and play a central role in the oil and gas sector in many emerging producers. In 2017, NOCs that published data on their assets reported combined assets of $3.1 trillion.

  • Ethnic Self-Identification of Eastern-Ukrainian Idps Throughout
    Ethnic Self-Identification of Eastern-Ukrainian IDPs Throughout the Conflict and Associated Mobility Process Master’s Thesis in Sociology Migration and ethnic studies track University of Amsterdam By Mariia Shaidrova Student number 11128305 Supervisor: Apostolos Andrikopoulos Second reader: Prof. Dr. H.G Hein de Haas Date of submission 30/06/2016 Abstract Eastern Ukraine (Donbas region) has been suffering from an armed conflict (May 2014 - present day). This conflict has led to the internal displacement of at least 1.5 million people and is characterized by an explicit ethnic component (Ukrainian-Russian; West-East). It provides an excellent case study for understanding the interaction between ethnicity and mobility in the context of a conflict. The goals of this research were twofold. Firstly, to study how ethnicities were affected throughout the conflict situation and associated migration flows. Secondly, to understand what role ethnic self-identification played in the mobility decisions of IDPs. My analysis combines multi-level mobility theories (e.g., Faist, 2000) with a constructivist approach to ethnicity (e.g. Nagel,1994; Chandra, 2006 ). My research illustrates how these theories intersect in the situation of Eastern Ukraine. The study has a qualitative design, based on in-depth interviews which were analyzed using thematic analysis. These were conducted with 22 respondents from Donetsk and Luhansk (currently living in Kiev and Kharkiv), obtained through snowball sampling. All respondents reported that both the Ukrainian and Russian ethnicities had become more salient and more strongly linked to politics since the conflict began. This political perception of ethnicity redefined the existing ethnic boundaries. To resolve the resulting tensions, some IDPs separated their political views from their ethnicity, referring to themselves as “apolitical Ukrainians” or “Donbas people”.
