dc.description.abstract |
The disintegration of the USSR brought the emergence of a new geo-energy space in
Central Asia. This space arose in the context of a global energy transition, which began
in the late 1970s. Therefore, this new space in a changing energy world requires both
new conceptual frameworks of analysis and the creation of new analytical tools. Taking
into account this fact, our paper attempts to apply the theoretical framework of the
Global Commodity Chain (GCC) to the case of natural resources in Central Asia.
The aim of the paper is to check if there could be any Central Asia’s geo-energy space,
assuming that this space would exist if natural resources were managed with regional
criteria.
The paper is divided into four sections. First an introduction that describes the new
global energy context within natural resources of Central Asia would be integrated.
Secondly, the paper justifies why the GCC methodology is suitable for the study of the
value chains of energy products. Thirdly, we build up three cases studies (oil and
uranium from Kazakhstan and gas from Turkmenistan) which reveal a high degree of
uncertainty over the direction these chains will take. Finally, we present the
conclusions of this study that state that the most plausible scenario would be the
integration of energy resources of these countries in GCC where the core of the
decision-making process will be far away from the region of Central Asia.
