About the position:
About the project:
The global oil and gas (O&G) sector sits at a critical conjuncture – there is broad consensus among governments, industry and market outlooks that global oil demand will plateau or peak between 2030 and 2035 as governments around the world work to meet their climate commitments and as new technologies (i.e. solar panels, heat pumps, batteries, etc.) gain traction in global markets. At the same time, however, the pace and speed of fossil fuel decline afterwards is highly uncertain. The Strait of Hormuz blockades have generated enormous revenue for O&G companies but may also prove to be an inflection point that accelerates efforts to move beyond fossil fuels. The uncertainty surrounding the future of fossil fuels is particularly prevalent for governments in petroleum-producing nations. On one hand, governments are under increasing pressure by the public and civil society organizations to end fossil fuel subsidies, stop new field exploration and development, and transition their economies away from fossil-fuel production. On the other hand, as the energy transition progresses, it has created its own counterforces and resulted in political pushback from climate-skeptical or even climate-denying political populists who have argued that the energy transition is inefficient, expensive, and unduly harming regular people, and that the only thing that protects the economy and preserves the welfare state is to open new areas for exploration and to provide tax relief/subsidies to stimulate new developments. The primary objective of the PhD project should be to investigate and better understand the contradictions and dilemmas democratic states in petroleum-producing nations must negotiate and navigate through uncertainty surrounding the direction and pace of transition to a post-fossil fuel era. Drawing energy geographies, (cultural) political economy and/or sustainability transitions, the successful candidate should examine the politics, strategies, counterforces, and/or backlashes surrounding statecraft in democratic petroleum-producing nations. This entails a focus on the role of and relationships between institutional legacies, vested interests, labor, expertise (consultants, think-tanks, academia, etc.) and/or civil society in shaping how the democratic-states conducts public affairs, initiates government projects, and manages domestic and international relations surrounding the petroleum-sector and fossil-fuel transitions. Successful candidates may choose to limit their study to the Norwegian-context or conduct a cross-comparative study between Norway and other democratic petroleum-producing nations such as United Kingdom, Indonesia, and Australia. Candidates should aim to contribute to discussions in national newspapers or public forums that could eventually feed into discussions surrounding the report from Norway’s Transition Commission (“Omstillingskommisjon”).
