Abstract
Since the 1990s, international energy cooperation has advanced on all fronts, and energy governance has become a focal point of global governance. However, with the emerging anti-globalization tide and intensified competition among major countries in recent years, the trend of “politicizing” energy cooperation has been stronger. After the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis, the energy sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe against Russia have brought an “end” to nearly half a century of free trade in energy, highlighting the trend of “bloc-based division” in energy cooperation and causing a certain degree of regression in global energy governance. Under the new circumstances, the international community not only needs to strengthen strategic dialogue and cooperation between energy exporters and consumers, and actively promote the “depoliticization” of international energy, but also needs emerging economies to play a greater role in promoting global energy governance.
