Building Energy Institutions in a Conflict Zone

Interventions by International Organisations in Afghanistan

How do international development organisations develop institutional capacity in conflict zones? Here we take a descriptive, topological perspective on the question, using the case of Afghanistan. For twenty years prior to the capture of Afghanistan by the Taliban in August 2021 the international community directed substantial resources to Afghanistan, seeking to build a democratic state. Here we examine selected, energy-related aspects of those institution-building processes, taking the country as a case study of institutional development for energy and other transitions that is explicitly driven by particular values. We find that this institutional development can be categorized in terms of three main themes: development of a regulatory framework for the energy sector; privatisation of energy systems; and women's empowerment in terms of knowledge, skills and engagement in energy sector provisioning.

Europe’s Energy Security and Russian Gas Supplies

Prospects for Building an Energy Union and the Sanctions against Russia Dominate Discussions about the EU’s Energy Security

While political and public concerns about the reliability of Russian gas supplies have been driving the debate about the EU’s energy security for several years, the conflict in Ukraine and the European Commission’s proposal to establish an energy union have furthered it significantly. In order to discuss the latest developments, the DGAP and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom invited a panel of experts to assess the EU’s current energy security prospects.

Europe and Eurasia: Toward a New Model of Energy Security

Der Gazprom-Vorstandsvorsitzende Alexei Miller und der russische Energieminister Alexander Nowak zum europäischen Energiemarkt

Ausgelöst durch Schwankungen im globalen Öl- und Gasmarkt und den Ukrainekonflikt zwingen die Turbulenzen auf dem europäischen Energiemarkt die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Akteure zu neuen Kooperationsformaten. Aus diesem Grund veranstaltete der Valdai Discussion Club eine Konferenz in Kooperation mit der DGAP, auf welcher ein neues Modell der Energiesicherheit für Europa und Eurasien und eine neue russische Energiestrategie für Europa diskutiert wurden.
