Book excerpt: Global energy governance is occurring in a multipolar world characterised by a growing demand for energy. The EU as well as the emerging powers of Brazil, China, India and South Africa (BICS) are competing for scarce energy resources. At the same time, the EU and BICS are engaged in bilateral energy talks. This volume explores mutual perceptions of the EU and emerging powers in terms of energy governance, the challenges involved in them cooperating over energy, and the joint governance of scarce resources. Results are gathered from elite discourse as well as media analyses, including the views from BICS, the EU and the EU's "Big 3" member states Germany, France and the UK.
