| Abstract | Systems of energy administration in most developing countries have been undergoing
great changes as they move from centrally-planned to competitive market-oriented modes of
operation. With this social and economic reform, conflicts are bound to occur among the many
actors, i.e., central government, local governments, environment conservationists, energy
production companies and consumers. To resolve these contradictions, negotiation will inevitably
take place among these actors. There is a clear need for the national governments in these
developing countries to negotiate and coordinate with all of the other actors, taking into account
their individual interests.
The prime objective of this research is to carry out academic research on simulating the
negotiation process. Through this research, a methodological framework and its implementation
are set up to analyze, model and facilitate the process of negotiation among central government
and individual energy producers under environmental, economical and social constraints.
Studies were carried out on negotiation issues in China. The results show that conflicts
exist between power groups and the national government, and that the most current negotiation
topics in China's power industry are demand and supply management, capital investment, energy
prices and pollutant abatement.
Two case studies were conducted to demonstrate the application of the methodological
framework. The first one simulates a negotiation process between one power group and the
national government. The other simulates a negotiation process of two power groups under the
coordination of the national government. |
