Introduction
I am a PhD candidate at the University of Groningen and a Visiting Fellow at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin. In my PhD project I investigate why and how fossil-fuel rich countries like Russia and Kazakhstan develop renewable energy and why they have chosen different approaches to do so. I am also interested in the linkages between RE policies and industrial policy. For my theoretical framework, I seek to draw on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF).

The European Union has identified clean hydrogen as essential to its climate targets, technology leadership and energy security in the decarbonizing world. The bloc is developing a comprehensive regulatory framework for a hydrogen economy, complete with supply-side policies and binding demand-side targets. In addition to boosting domestic productio...
Drawing on the findings of the case studies presented in this edited volume, this final chapter summarizes and discusses the geopolitical challenges of hydrogen development in the European Union. The chapter provides a review of how the interplay of national and EU-level politics and policies is shaping the EU’s domestic and international hydrogen...
The global energy transition and the growing ambition of decarbonisation policies in the world’s leading economies are bound to affect Central Asia’s three hydrocarbon producers, yet there has been little research on the issue. This chapter uses the theoretical toolbox of geoeconomics to analyse the implications of energy transition for Kazakhstan,...

The EU is addressing strategic vulnerabilities, particularly in the sphere of fossil fuel supply, while seeking to maintain its climate ambition. However, the EU has failed to make more far-reachin...
In October 2020, Russia adopted a roadmap for hydrogen development, and a full-length Hydrogen Development Concept is expected soon. Even though Russia remains somewhat sceptical about hydrogen’s much-vaunted transformative potential, it is interested in using its natural gas wealth to become a leading exporter of this new energy carrier and views...
The article provides a comparative exploration of the role of Ottoman legacies and contemporary Turkish influences in shaping political space in the Black Sea regions of Adjara and Abkhazia. Conceptualizing both as borderlands, the article focuses on borderland practices related to three kinds of transboundary flows between Turkey and Adjara and Ab...
The collapse of the Soviet Union and its replacement by independent republics had a significant effect on the geopolitics of Iran, especially on its northern borders. Within these new geopolitics, Iran functions as a land bridge connecting the two major energy-producing regions of the world, i.e., the Caspian Sea and the Persian Gulf. This new situ...
