The article “Fragmented Energy Governance and the Provision of Global Public Goods” by Gonzalo Escribano has been published in the latest edition of the Global Policy journal (6 (2): pp. 97-106). The author researcher analyzes global energy governance from an international political economy and global public goods (GPG) perspective.
Escribano describes first the fragmentation that characterizes energy governance and its current trend towards an increasingly inter-polar and polycentric pattern. Then, it shows how the myriad of dedicated international energy regimes conform to an energy regime complex that provides a diverse set of GPG rather than a single international energy regime. Then, global energy governance is analyzed from a global public good angle, categorizing the different institutional energy-related arrangements according to the public good they intend to provide; and highlighting that the supply of such institutional arrangements is greatly influenced by the different provision technologies that are applied to the different energy-related global public goods.
