6 FAQs about [Russia leap power]
Is Russia an energy superpower?
Visions of Russia as an energy superpower faded in the face of the quickening pace of the clean energy transition (incentives in the EU to conserve energy and find ways of using it more efficiently are especially damaging to Russia), Russia’s growing strategic dependence on China, and the discovery of new sources of fossil fuels around the world.
What makes Russia a great power?
Since the early 2000s, Russia’s quest for great power status has been based on its large oil and gas resources, that is, its ‘energy power’ (Rutland 2008).
Why does Russian nuclear energy diplomacy rely on'strategic manipulation'?
Taken together, these dependencies allow Russian nuclear energy diplomacy to rely on what Stulberg called ‘strategic manipulation’ as a means of constraining or rewarding certain choices available to client-state policymakers 66.
Does China have a role in Russia's energy strategy?
For Russia and the other regional fossil fuel producers, China is at the centre of both strategies. As described above, China has become the number one external energy actor in post-Soviet Central Asia, an outcome clearly incompatible with Russia’s ambitions for reasserting its own regional supremacy.
Can China outpace Russia in energy investment?
China’s accelerating demand for energy has gone hand-in-hand with loans for investments in the energy infrastructure sector (Leung 2011). In short, China has been able to outpace Russia in many areas of energy trade, investment and infrastructure development.
