尽管有关全球能源治理的文献不断涌现，但迄今为止还没有广泛的理论基础。本文试图通过提出一个分析全球能源的公共政策框架来填补这一空白。从这个透镜来看，能源安全涉及跨国规模的市场失灵问题。这些问题可能是由于不完全竞争、负外部性、缺乏信息或存在公益物。有人认为，主要的全球能源风险，如石油价格波动，缺乏运输基础设施，上游投资不足，可以令人信服地概念化为市场未能提供一个关键的良好的能源安全。因此，本文提出了市场失灵的分析理由，并作为进一步研究全球能源治理的知识基础，并勾勒出可能的研究议程在该领域。
Despite an emerging literature on global energy governance, there so far is no extensive intellectual rationale for it. This article seeks to fill this gap by putting forward a public policy framework to analyze global energy. With that lens, energy security relates to problems of market failure at a transnational scale. These may occur due to imperfect competition; negative externalities; lack of information; or the presence of public goods. It is argued that major global energy risks such as oil price volatility, lack of transport infrastructure, and insufficient upstream investments can be convincingly conceptionalized as markets failing to provide for a crucial good-energy security. This article thus proposes market failure as an analytical justification of and as an intellectual foundation for further research in global energy governance, and sketches possible research agendas in that field.
