Summary/Abstract This paper uses Q methodology to reveal stakeholder perceptions on how best to address energy issues in Africa. We sampled a group of stakeholders involved in various energy sub-sectors to uncover perspectives on how to achieve and promote access to modern energy, energy efficiency and renewable energy in Africa, whether the perceptions could be correlated to educational or geographical background and implications such patterns could have on policies and current dialogues. We found that all stakeholders agree on the need to prioritise sustainability but had different views on how to achieve sustainable energy for all in Africa, depending on the relevance given to each energy driver. Stakeholders could be categorised into four groups: (I) preference of large-scale high-impact projects; (II) supporters of targeted sectoral solutions with preference for small-scale technology and microfinance; (III) supporters of centralised solutions with preference for grid extension, and (IV) supporters of local entrepreneurship with scepticism about centralised solutions. The results show that differences in stakeholders' perceptions can be associated with respondents' educational but not geographical background. This implies that dialogues on energy in Africa should focus on inter-disciplinary understanding while further examining the trans-continent consensus that appears to have been established.

Todorev, Alexandar Journal Article

Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract On a number of occasions, former Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the active involvement of his country in international and regional integration processes was one of the key instruments for the modernisation of the national economy. This was illustrated by the dialogue on energy issues between Russia and the United States, activated in 2003-5. ALEXANDAR TODOREV argues that the stability and predictability of world energy markets will depend largely upon the diplomatic efforts of both countries to find a sensible balance between various interests on global, regional and bilateral levels.
