Woodard, K

In the past thirty years, the People's Republic of China has emerged as a major regional and global energy power, developing from a country with few and scattered enterprises in 1949 to one with the third largest commercial energy system in the world. This is the first detailed, comprehensive analysis of all aspects of China's energy system to emphasize China's increasingly complex energy relations with other countries. The book is in two parts. Part I, Energy Policy, describes, analyzes, and projects the course of China's international energy relations from 1949 through the year 2000. The author identifies the key constraints - resources, economic organization, and political policies - that affect the pace of energy development and mold the distinctive features of China's energy policies. He also sets energy relations with other countries and regions in the context of the economic and political history of the People's Republic. Part II, Statistical Profile, provides a detailed, coordinated set of energy-balance statistics in standard international format and units. Nearly 100 statistical tables give data for the resource, production, consumption, and trade stages of each energy industry, with projected statistics to the year 2000.
