| Summary / Abstract (Note) | From the state-centered perspective, China's hunt for foreign energy deals has generated increasing uneasiness in international relations. By exploring Chinese national oil companies' overseas expansion, this study finds that Chinese bureaucratic fragmentation in the context of the state's changing relationship with state-owned enterprises has greater impact on firms' offshore ventures than the state-centered perspective contends. |
